"Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under
circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly found, given, and transmitted
from the past.  The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brain of
the living." Karl Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire
