Without informed criticism, stagnation sets in. Infrastructures rot with corruption, people grow complacent, mediocrity reigns supreme! Societies fall!! Entropy, going out with a pathetic, sad, sad, sad whimper instead of the blood-pumping, life-affirming BANG!

If the progeny decide to condone, implicitly or overtly, or God forbid emulate the hypocrisy of their ancestors, they must accept that blame! Because soon, oh so soon as time marches on like a lead-footed soldier, it will be their blame as well!
