This has gotta be the greatest civilisation ever.
In what other civilisation could some one hang it on some one else on the other side of the world and then get a fast response?

With the communication and transport we have today, I think the world is homogenous enough to call it one civilisation. We are in the first civilisation that has had the ability to destroy itself and the possibility of any future civs emerging from its ruins.
We also have a civ that wants to keep dead people alive and not let the living dead die in peace.
I also find it funny that the rabid christians (who believe in Heaven) are so unwilling to let people die and go there
For these reasons and many others I think we live in the lowliest of civs.
The Aboriginals seemed to look after themselves and the country before we plied them with the evil spirit. They are f**cked now and there was so much to learn from them.

"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."

Current governments worldwide would tend to prove that your statements are not correct Dusty.
We have long known that we can vote for a government that will give us back all the money that we pay in taxes but we don't do so. In fact, our current lot are taking more than ever off us and we still vote them back in again. So how do you explain that then ?Last edited by Bob Willson; 17th April 2005 at 07:05 AM.

The term 'grammar nazi' was invented to make people, who don't know their grammar, feel OK about being uneducated.
