One of my friends got his passing (http://sabotabby.livejournal.com/1098086.html) about right, I'd say.

An interesting choice of epitaph.

Of course, I remember the reports of the incident your friend referred to. As a member of the Precariate born in a certain timeframe myself, there's no way I was going to forget that tale.

We hope to rescue our nation from his legacy, of course...

And the world ...

Yes, and the rest of the world. As I suggested to Sabs, the old order about which we are sometimes too nostalgic, was in large part built on the exploitation of the Third World.

And ongoing attempts to keep it going in the Second World as well.

May we never be invaded by troops from the Fourth World (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Kirby%27s_Fourth_World).
