The Cycle of Democracy
Calabane pulls out a great quote in the comments. I haven't been able to get it out of my head so I'm putting it up on the front page because this is my blog and nobody's the boss of me:
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's Thesis form the Cycle of Democracy
Also, on a totally unrelated note, check out the Bush flip-flops - J Peterman style.

It is a great quote; sadly, it's also fake. This quote is not in any body of work attributed to him. I refer you to Snopes.com for more info on this.
