re: #43 calochortus

Anyone know what the peak moment of perfection for western European culture was? Everyone has been complaining it’s in decline. Was it before the Romans got there? The Vikings? Maybe while they were burning witches? In granddaddy’s time?
I need a date.

Romans had organization, roads, technology, but they also had slavery and political oppression.

19th Century Europe saw the spread of democracy and massive technological process, but also colonialism.

I think that what they have constructed since WW2 has been admirable in most all respects.
