Entry: Ozymandias Airlines Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/ozymandias_airlines#16358 Post contents: "When enough peasants caught on, the Roman Empire was doomed, not by military invasion, but by the fact that its subjects no longer believed the whole imperial contraption benefited them." An interesting fact to note: Tainter's book is practically unavailable through the NY Public Library's reservation system. This is absurd for an academic book written in 1988. I suspect that the "subjects" have caught on. Sent at: 2008 07 08
