And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

I feel like those 40 year periods don't even compare. We did amazing things from 1941 to 1981. From WW2 to the Space Shuttle. Now our biggest accomplishments seem to bes BS. Not sure rotary phones to pocket computers is a good thing.
In 1941 and 1981, we built aircraft carriers that could actually launch planes, and planes that actually ruled the skies, for a Navy the ruled the seas.
At the rate we're going I doubt there'll be a 2061 to compare with 2021.
