About the time our original 13 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 prior:
"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 that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes 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 worlds greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy; (We are here!)
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:
Population of counties won by: Gore: 127 million;
Bush: 143 million;
Square miles of land won by: Gore: 580,000; Bush:
2,427,000
States won by: Gore: 19 Bush: 29
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Gore: 13.2 Bush: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the tax-paying citizens of this great country. Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off government welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some 40 percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.
Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger.

We are not an empire. You could also title it "The Rise of Liberalism" or " How Political Correctness is Destroying The Greatest Country in The History of Mankind"

If indeed this was from God and a real deal experience with he Holy Spirit you would not be asking this question and aiming it toward science, searching for logic. Stop pretending and lying. Counterfeiting the consummation of the new birth by the Holy Spirit is not so easily mistaken and leaves one with dah what happened. And if indeed it was understood and your declaration is a challenge your experience you failed to present it as such. The Word of God (scripture) can prove and reveal to you and confirm what happened. It isn't wise to have an experience without framing the very thing with the Word of God to induce first, to believe for it. When the Holy Spirit came upon the house of Cornelius the gospel was first preached to them and the Holy Spirit came upon them to confirm, what they had heard was of God and truth confirming that Christ was Savior. The point is a good thing to share with anyone about the Holy Spirit coming upon you is to first teach through scripture the expectancy. Now either this was taking place while the preacher was teaching while your attitude was smelly cat stuff; well then what would you expect? You know what a person who have not know would give to know what yevidentlytly end up saying WHAT HAPPENED TE TE TE TE Put your heart into Christ. sincerely the truth edwah z j

Activist California Attorney and Bush Critic Falls To His Death From 12th Floor of Embassy Suites Hotel Was the Christmas Eve death of freedom fighter Paul Sanford a suicide leap or was he pushed? Friends and family have many questions even though police ruled his death a "probable suicide."

By ALLEN G. BREED

ARLINGTON, Va. -- Perhaps no place illustrates the toll of the Iraq war more vividly than Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery. In this "garden of stone," in ruler-straight rows, "rest one-tenth" of the Iraq war's American dead, whose number has reached 3,000.
One tenth, meaning the real total of US dead is 30,000 - 3,000 of which died IN IRAQ, the rest after evacuation !!!!!!!!!

The UN has certified that the US has no colonies.
Maybe you mean the Mayan Empire.
Seriously though, you should read the Communist Manifesto if you want to understand the theory.

Why don't you get off the computer and get back to class instead of baiting people on the internet.
