>The "Greatest Nation" ululation often signals a fermenting and ripening of
>a despot"s or premier"s secret ambition-that innermost fervent desire to which
>he dare not hope-the consuming love of the people for him, their worship of him;
>and that even now they humbly save their widow"s mite in his name, money moist
>with tears, drawn from threadbare purses with radiant eyes directed to the
>heavens, money that could have bought bread to feed their own children, but now
>offered instead-most gloriously-to sacrificially atone and uplift, to finance the
>commission of the construction of great colonnaded buildings dedicated to him
>and impressive statues of his likeness.  And voluntary committees-many
>committees-formed to place these icons of him and magnificence all about
>innumerable town squares, and to rename roads, and spaceports, and buildings
>in his honor, that his own personal sacrifices and monumental efforts magisterially
>coupled with incomparable wisdom, shall not perish from the memory of the living,
>nor be deprived from the vision of those yet unborn.  See also: RISING TIDE of
