How Long Do We Have?
About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government."
"A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury."
"From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.
"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years."

My best friend (who is a straightedge kid and never has commited a crime) was told he might have to stay a weekend in juvineille hall. His parents took him to the detention center.
They said that he always argues with them (which is true, but they are very unreasonable. ex) They won't give him his depression meds, and he protests.) The police said that he should spend some time in jail...but, he has never commited a federal crime. Or any crime for that matter. He is a really good person. Is this legal?

I have reciently been called to the office at work & given a verbal warning to not be talking during work to my other co workers about negative things at work, we all are guilty there of doing this so I accepted that ..no problem 2 days later I had the day off & the girls called me to come in & pick up my birthday present from them, I did & since they were having a smoke break I went to the back of the building where I thought they would be. Turns out they had just went in, so I went in the back door & got the present from them & left. The next day I was called in the office again! This time I was given a written warning & told next is suspension without pay or termination!!! When I read the contents of the reasons why it says that I came to work & didnt enter through the proper door & took up the girls time . They are the ones who asked me n & everyone comes in that door . I feel that they want to get rid of me ! What do you think ? or am I just being paranoid?

Suppose for a moment you are having a War, one that you have been planning and looking forward to for a long time. You enemies are dying and friendly losses are minimal, and you even killed the enemy leader.

Now all of a sudden scruffy, know-nothing Joe Peacenick comes along and says "Stop, stop! Violence never solves anything!"

Doesn't that sort of unwelcome interference just chap your hide?

those in need and to help upraise the downtrodden.
My question is -" Does this extend to right wingers?"
Not that I -as a good liberal - would balk at this but it just seems to be an awful lot of good energy used on a rather hopeless project.
The righties downward spiral has such a ways to go before it flames out that it does seem a pity to throw the good after the bad.
Any ideas?

If america lost the war of independence, slavery may have ended decades earlier with no civil war. The u.s. was too racist to declare war on hitler although he was killing whites wholesale and now his "genius" fills books and t.v. If china invaded or al quaeda wins this war, life will not change much for african americans. Already blacks would benefit from flying to mexico then enter illegally, That way we could get credit, be allowed to drive and get a job as now hispanics are up next to receive the white franchise. After being leap frogged by the germans, irish and italians etc. Americas everyone should benefit except for the people who built it and those whom the land belongs to. They say go back to africa like we prefer to be in prison instead of pilot in africa or it's a country of immigrants but we are the only people who didn't. Everyone else needed america but america needed us. Should al quaeda win? If you're black, does it matter, probably not!

If you were under dictatorship in your own home, and you tried everything you could to STOP it, but could not.

Would you want someone/ anyone to come in and HELP you, or would you want them to do nothing but close their eyes?

Or would you be someone who closes their eyes and let them be in harms way?
