Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Just thinking about "Linear A", an undeciphered writing system from the Minoans of Crete, thought to have been used between 1800 and 1450 BCE.
