A sage observation...

...from the past...

re The Bush Dynasty

"...the wrong-doing of one generation lives into the successive ones... ...and becomes a pure and uncontrollable mischief... ...tumbling down an avalanche of ill-gotted gold, or real estate, on the heads of an unfortunate posterity, thereby to maim and crush them, until the accumulated mass shall be scattered abroad in its original atoms."

(by Nathaniel Hawthorne, in his Preface to "The House of the Seven Gables", circa Jan 27, 1851)
