               I disagree with the Chorages' quote.  One person I can name that does not submit to the gods is president (as of October 2012) Barack Obama.  As a leader of the USA, he has to follow a law that basically states that the US government shall not encourage power of a or many religions.  I also think that Obama may be wise or very wise, however, I do not think that he is happy.  He probably isn't happy because of all of the pressures of being president and the fact that, now the whole country is in a economic crisis, EVERYONE is going to be watching what he is doing and where it is leading the nation.  So, in the situation that president Barack Obama is in, he is probably very wise, however he is not happy.   As I recall, the Choragos said, "And proud men at old age learn to be wise."  If you look at some of the presidents that were of old age and not wise, you will probably find Richard Nixon on the list.  Why he isn't wise is because he was arrested for breaking into the opposing parties headquarters and stealing many important documents during the time of the presidential election.  As I recall, "Big words are punished."  A contradiction I found was the current president Barack Obama saying, "The private sector is fine."  In the USA, the private sector is the public and/or the people. Obama said that during the time of the worst economic crisis ever since the Great Depression.  Also, the private sector are the very people who aren't financially doing well.  So the bottom line to what I have to say is that the quote in which the Choragos says throughout the ruling time of Creon only applies to the ancient Greeks.
