31. It's interesting that you mention Plato as coincidentally my wife's birthday present to me...

...was to set me free in a bookstore to buy three (which morphed into five) books.

The first one my list was Romm's Plato and the Tyrant which examines the conditions under which Plato wrote The Republic. Apparently he was in the court of Dionysuis II, an antiquarian version of the orange pedophile in the White House.

I haven't gotten to reading it yet - I started with one of the other five - but based on the reviews I thought it a perfect time to read it, the reign of error, elevation of the pedophile to the role of dictator. The subtitle of the book is The Fall of Greece's Greatest Dynasty and the Making of a Philosophic Masterpiece

The Fall of United States, once the world's premier democracy, is well underway, precipitously. As we were a democracy, it amounts to national suicide. We elected this moron.
