In our genes

Went to the Museum Center tonight to see the Cleopatra exhibit. There were a lot of amazing artifacts, but one struck me more than the others.

It was a piece of papyrus, handwritten and signed by Cleopatra. The translation was an edict, waiving the wine tax for a merchant who was a friend of Mark Anthony.

Government corruption predates Christ. It’s in our genes.
