"From time to time I open a newspaper. Things seem to be proceeding at a dizzying rate. We are dancing not on the edge of a volcano, but on the wooden seat of a latrine, and it seems to me to be more than a touch rotten. Soon society will go plummetting down and drown in nineteen centuries of shit. There will be quite a lot of shouting."

Gustave Flaubert, 1850
