The social strata
Cicero of the Roman empire wrote this about the situation during his lifetime :
1. The poor, work & work. 2. The rich, exploit the poor. 3. The soldier, protects both. 4. The taxpayer, pays for all three. 5. The wanderer, rests for all four. 6. The Alcoholic, drinks for all five. 7. The banker, robs all six. 8. The lawyer, misleads all seven. 9. The doctor, bills all eight. 10. The undertaker, buries all nine. 11. The Politician lives happily on account of all ten. The above was written in 43 B.C. !! Still valid today

Nothing has, or will, change in the human experience save for the technology surrounding us based on the location or time in which we live.

My husband played French horn in a symphony for many years. Twenty-some-odd years ago, the symphony played background for Kansas. Played background for Moody Blues twice. Played for other groups, too, but those are the ones I remember.
