The Romans like, built the first roads. Henry Ford built the first
vehicle that let a man quickly go by road to the next town where he
could buy cheaper stuff than in his own town. The man did, not being
stupid. Next came paved and numbered highways, boxstores, megamalls, and
Walmart.
On the way we discovered sex and drugs and rock and roll, more or less
in that order.
The Fall of the Roman Empire? Just one of those things.
