Mark Twain Observes

It was a great plague! It was the best plague! Nobody had ever seen a plague like it in history!  Big men, strong men, men with broad shoulders, went up to the President and said "Sir, this is the greatest plague in the history of the universe!  We've never seen a plague like this!  Nobody has seen a plague like this!"  And they were weeping, these big, strong men!  They had tears in their eyes!  They had tears running down their cheeks!  And they said "Sir, it's like the flu!"

And I said "No, it's not like the flu!  We can't say that anymore!"  "But," I said, from this death and destruction we will rose, always remembering its many lost souls, but not as many as could have been, always remember we saved millions!  Millions and millions!, and we lost many more souls all over the World, more than all the souls in America combined!,  and we tested more people in America than all the world combined, tested and tested and tested because Americans can always be tested and never be bested!  And we left all those dead behind in refrigerator trucks and sanctuary cities and states that didn't deserve our help because of their sanctuary cities, and we were greater than ever before, greater than anybody has ever seen, ever in history!"

"It was believed afterward that the man was a lunatic, because there was no sense in what he said."
