Pa, is it possible to lose a town?
Lose a town? Oh you're thinking about what happened with those prisoners last night, huh?.
Yeah, they could have taken the town away from us, couldn't they?
They could have taken it physically. Mark but they couldn't have kept it. Takes more than guns to hold a town. Naw son the only time a town, or even a country, is lost is when the people who live in it get careless and stop paying attention to how it”s being run.
You mean like the Roman Empire?
You up to that already?
Ms. Saturn started us on it last week.
Well then you know the value of studying your history. And you were a hundred percent right when you said like the Roman Empire. By knowing that mistakes people made hundreds of years ago, we can learn a lesson and profit by not making the same mistakes ourselves.
Well I hope so.
