Monday's Question

Arthur Miller wrote an article about the importance of theatre as a tool for social and political commentary and bemoaned its decline in the US, shortly before his death. To remember him and his art, we reproduce a very pertinent question he posed in the text. He began by saying, 'the bad part about being around a long time is the realisation that mankind is endlessly reinventing the wheel; now the stoical military virtues - a kind of Roman obedience and conformity - echo in an attorney general'

Question: How many times do we have to indulge the same idiocies for which we must later be ashamed?
