As a younger person still in college I see to much of this kind of thinking reviered almost savagely defended, mostly by those who don't own a house or land yet. They don't seem to care about the future issues this will create for them or the moral issues that are involved. Good article I look forward to reading part 2.

"The traditional Roman fasces consisted of a bundle of white birch rods, tied together with a red leather ribbon into a cylinder, and often including a bronze axe (or sometimes two) amongst the rods, with the blade(s) on the side, projecting from the bundle.[3] It was used as a symbol of the Roman Republic in many circumstances, including being carried in processions, much the way a flag might be carried today."
