"We revere and honor those born of noble fathers," Antiphon wrote, "but those who are not born of noble fathers we neither revere nor honor. In this we are, in our relations with one other, like barbarians, since we are all by nature born the same in every way, both barbarians and Hellenes."Author: I.F. Stone

Nice new blog-theme!
Do you think this quote holds strongly today? We do have some dynastic families, but we also have new revered and honored people coming from a variety of backgrounds.
I think so. For one if you take a look outside of he US then I think this still has relevance. I also think that it is a good reminder for the US.
