The Average life of Democracy 300 years.

posted by army193

These nations have progressed through this sequence:
from bondage to spiritual faith
from spiritual faith to great courage
from courage to liberty
from liberty to abundance
from abundance to selfishness
from selfishness to complacency
from complacency to apathy
from apathy to dependency
from dependency back to bondage.
-- Alexander Fraser Tytler (1742-1813)

The House and Senate just have appeased the Terrorist and they continue to win. They intend to force us to change who we are and they have won today.

{Foot note} The Supreme Court will have the final word and if they refuse to find it un-constitutional then we have lost and Terrorist has won.

Over the hill (none / 0)
at 230, we're well over the hill and right into at least the "complacency to apathy" stage.
