I got this from a friend and thought you all might find it interesting. I never put a correlation to persons per square miles but it does make sense.
HOW LONG DO WE HAVE?
This is one of the most interesting thing I've read in a long time. The sad thing about it, you can see it coming.
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'
'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:
Number of States won by:
Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29
Square miles of land won by:
Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by:
Democrats: 127 million
Republicans: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents
in counties won by:
Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: 'In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Democrat 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 illegal's and they vote, then we can say
goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
how much is at stake, knowing that
Apathy is the greatest danger to our Freedom.
