Historically speaking I can't point to a single country or governed people that has managed to remain as it began. It usually crumbles and decays and that is because the biggest problem with humanity is always humans.

While I think it's clear that the Founding Fathers were brilliant men, I think Ben Franklin's line, "A republic, if you can keep it" makes it clear that the blueprint that they put together for us requires a population of people that could manage their own lives.
I'm not convinced that what worked for the northern European farmers (primarily British Anglicans and German Lutherans who, by dint of being farmers, were self-reliant) can work today; urbanization has sharply reduced the role of the American male, who can simply call 911 in the face of any danger. However, I do think this election gives us a fighting chance.
I think we have been given a bit more time. How long is that? Can't begin to guess. There have been some interesting upsets globally that might give us enough time for some old geezers to pass taking their One World Gov ideology with them. Again, we will see..
As for our once self reliant independent population, we have been coddled and enabled and dumbed down for decades. Education is a joke now. I saw a headline this morning that claimed that Washington State University is offering queer pole dance classes. Which sort of makes my point.
The problem is manтАЩs hunger for power, control and dominance over that which is not his. Love and human kindness are not material possessions to own and ownership of everything is what drives them.
I think power hunger is rooted in god complex. Those who are determined to rule over others need to feel like they are gods. Pretty sure I know where that comes from.
