In a new ad
for New Hampshire voters, Mitt Romney claims:
In the next ten years, we'll see more progress,
more change than the world has seen in the last ten centuries.
You read that correctly. The next ten years will run roughshod over the
Enlightenment, the French Revolution, the formation of American democracy, the
printing press, interchangeable parts, division of labor, the end of slavery, nuclear
technology, antiseptics, the theory of gravity, the theory of
relativity, the rise of communism, two world wars, universal suffrage, landing
on the moon, and the Internet.
