Last night I was flipping about in tv land when I landed on what looked like a documentary on ABC.
Experts were proclaiming that the Roman Empire failed in large part because it was unable to grow enough and transport enough grain to its people. It could not feed its Empire. This was not news to us, yet we were grateful to hear it humming forth from network tv. (The population of the city of Rome itself dropped from 1 million to about 30,000 at the beginning of the so-called Dark Ages.)

The show was Earth 2100.
Hmm, great post, thanks for you work.
