Nature itself is much older and wiser than the

the verge of reasserting itself. (Easterbrook 650)
Nature is not ending, nor is human damage to the
environment unprecedented. Nature has repelled
forces of a magnitude many times greater than the

his friends. The justification for his death was
that he was too ambitious and wanted too much
power. The very concept of government in Rome was
against dictatorship, to which Caesar posed a
great threat. Although Rome recognized the need
for a distinct leader, the power given to the
leader was not absolute. The Romans devised a
