Too bad for the rabid doom and gloom hysterics we are a Constitutional Republic and not a Democracy.

A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.BUMP

But there needs to be a step about from "apathy" to "self-loathing."

We should all just replace government with something approaching a resembling to a Constitutional one and defeat the Islamic death cult completely too.
I can dream.

I love hearing the opinion of a monarchist on republics.
They are so objective and unbiased.
I especially like statements like this "The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. "
Complete and utter bull crap but people quote it like it came down from Sinai on stone tablets. Depending on what I call a "great civilization" I can make them last 500 years or 50.

Nice essay. I think it makes valid points.
I'd add one more.
To the extent that abundance, or the creation of wealth, means that a nation becomes more urban, that nation must necessarily become a nation of more regulations, more laws and less freedom. Urban life demands this, since with everyone living right on top of each other, everyone's actions are so much more likely to impact the lives of everyone else.
All modern societies are becoming predominantly urban.
