“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency, to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage.” -- Alexander Tyler, on the Fall of the Athenian Republic

Strange that certain replies ignore the pecular problems of a member of the President's family being active in & among the biz of our potential enemies. The world is a large place & there are so many other locals where one could be 'investing' money & time-those with no controversy. Anyplace which has NO echo of the Klintoons & the China sell-out.
