Check out the book of Genesis. There is a specific point at which God changes the maximum human lifespan to 120 years, after which this does not occur.
teluride5··on War Is a Racket (1933)
This talk from 1933 aged poorly. America's initial lack of intervention in WW2 resulted in Pearl Harbor and German conquest of most of Europe. Smedley Butler can stay forgotten as a footnote in the dusty annals of history.

That's all true, though I suppose the same could be said of Dropbox
teluride5··on Abolish Yale
In a sense, Yale is an extension of the American political superstructure. I'm not sure if true social justice is, or should be, a political goal. Historically, this niche has been best served by religious organizations such as the Catholic church.
