Eadem, sed aliter. Schopenhauer explains: The same things differently. History’s motto.

Check back to the struggles Thomas Jefferson had as he pushed for democracy and others -- the 'pukes of his day -- pushed for monarchism. Eadem, sed aliter. There were many who wanted George Washington to proclaim himself king.

Gotta just keep trying, I guess.

Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
