Good judgment comes from experience.

Experience comes from poor judgment.

In 1776 we came out of BONDAGE with FAITH, UNDERSTANDING and COURAGE. Even
against great odds, and with much bloodshed, we battled our way to achieve LIBERTY.
LIBERTY is that delicate balance between the force of government and FREEWILL of man.
LIBERTY brings FREEDOM of choice to work, to trade, to go and live where one wishes; it
leads to ABUNDANCE. ABUNDANCE, if made an end to itself, will result in
COMPLACENCY, which leads to APATHY. APATHY is the “let George do it” philosophy.
This always brings DEPENDENCY. For a period of time, dependents are often not aware they
are dependent. They delude themselves by thinking that they are still free —

“We never had it so good.” — “We can still vote, can’t we?” Eventually abundance diminishes
and DEPENDENCY becomes known by its true nature:

BONDAGE!

There are few ways out of bondage. Bloodshed and war often result, but our founding fathers
learned of a better way. Realizing that a CREATOR is always above and greater than that
which He creates, they established a three vote system by which an informed citizenry can
control those acting in the name of the government. To be a good master you must always
remember the true “pecking order” or chain of command in this nation:

1. GOD created man . . .

2. Man (that’s you) created the Constitution . . .

3. Constitution created government . . .

4. Government created corporations . .etc.

"desperate times produce good men, good times lead to complacent men, complacent times lead to apathetic men, apatheic men lead to poor men."

Someone is channeling Alexander Frasier Tytler.

He sorta came up with this:

Which I think he actually derived from this:
