"The average age of the world's great civilizations has been 200. 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."

This is a great quote, and is based in history. It goes back to the notion that those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.
The United States is definately in the apathy mode in my opinion.
Of course I think there is still time to change this around. I think Sept 11th has woken up part of the population, and hopefully our leaders can get us back on track and help us regain our focus.
