Subj:     How Long Does The USA Have? (S569b)
          From: AFine963 on 12/16/2007

 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.

 During those 200 years, those 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;

  7. From apathy to dependence;

  8. From dependence back into bondage"
