So much of history is frivolous it can be frightening to rational
thinkers. Still, I really want to think there was someone among those
cronies who thought, "well, it is a symbol of regeneration and that's
really what we're all about," or some such thing. Delusion is so much
easier to accept than frivolity when tens millions of humans die
violently in a few years, followed by an unprecedented population
bomb.
