My Ode to Mr. Burns
Robert Burns
Oh Scottish lad of
Ayrshire poor
used words o' wit to
swoon Armour
Songs of verse a
sensation did cult
wi' scores o' ladies
nay yer fault
the children came by
the score
when finally you
returned to Armour
t'was true the bonny
lass of highland fair
did pass away givin'
ye one more heir
an' Mrs. M'Lehose
just a fling
lest we be bothered
by such a thing
alas Jean
Armour,was birthing number four
Recently I was reminded that this is the twenty first century and the truth can be problematic.
Climbing Ben Nevis outside Fort William
Highest peak in the U.K.
Made feel like I had come home.
Alexander Tyler
had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent
form of government.
A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can
vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the
most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally
collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship."
"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has
been about 200 years.
During those 200 years, these nations always 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 complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."
The Obituary follows:
Born 1776, Died 2012
It doesn't hurt to read this several times.
Of course we are not a democracy, we are a Constitutional Republic .
Of course we know too many others pay little attention to The Constitution.
