Very interesting read. Sad if its true.

How Long Does USA 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. 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"
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 taxpaying citizens of this great country.
Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in
government-owned tenements and living off various forms of 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
forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the
"governmental dependency" phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal
invaders called illegals and they vote, then goodbye to the USA in fewer

than five years.
