What will we be found 50 years from now when journals of the prophets of our time are read, studied, dissected and quoted? Will a future Solon solemnly and with acute cynicism render a similar lament?

I don't think it's intrinsically either cynical or lamentable to assert that the 21st century LDS church is quite different from its 19th century version. It is what it is.
It is lamentable, however, IMO that there seems to be less room for disagreement than 150 years ago. But that's old hat and I don't lose any sleep over it (anymore).
