The year 2014 is a significant anniversary. Personally, it is 80 years since I was born. More importantly, it is one hundred years since the outbreak of the World War I, a catastrophe from which most of the world's present problems resulted. The slaughter was bad enough but without this bloodba...

The slaughter was bad enough but without this bloodbath we might have been spared Lenin's paradise, the great depression, Germany's embrace of an evil maniac, which occurred roughly at the time of the above mentioned birthday, the continuing spectre of a nuclear holocaust, and forty years of the cruel and smothering rule of the heart of Europe by a totalitarian regime.
