Is Democracy Dying? « Mercy not Sacrifice

At the same time, I'm feeling contrite today about my cynicism and lack of patriotism because a dream and vision for humanity that was exceptional about our country is in the process of dying. Democracy is more than just …

We hear so much about Democracies all the time, but are they really what they’re cracked up to be?

According to Professor Alexander Fraser Tyler, a Scottish historian who in 1787, was writing about the decline and fall of the Athenian Republic over two thousand years before:

“The average duration of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years”.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship”.

The above would seem to fit the USA almost exactly in terms of its duration and the reason for its collapse.

Europe now has to choose between its democracies and Islam, meaning that the countries that choose democracy will be Islamicized within 20-30 years.

China has now replaced Japan as the number two economic power in the world whilst the US is facing bankruptcy before 2020.

Having Fun with Electricity in Honduras | Johnny Vagabond

Based on a design by Ben Franklin, the heating element is actually built into the shower head. Knowing that the only thing shielding me from certain death is a pair of wire nuts hanging just six inches above the spraying water makes me think “You know, maybe those smelly hippies have the right idea…” Having Fun … Now, if you've been here before you may know that I tend to give anything remotely dangerous the “of Death” suffix, but this thing really was frightening. …

Electric shock from shower – All About Circuits Forum

I can see now that it is called a shower head heater. And I can see that experts think they are very dangerous. So probably they only use it here because they want hot water, right? And they don't know that it is dangerous, …

I have met many people that told me to turn off the water heater when I take a shower, because if I don’t don’t, they say I that I could get electrocuted.

But if you ask these people to explain how this might happen, they look kind of blank and speechless like a deer that’s been caught by your headlights.

You ask them “Is it possible to spray electricity in water”, and they look pensive and sometimes attempt to explain how it might be done, but I’ve yet to hear a valid explanation, so I don’t think that it’s at all possible.

Can it happen, and if, “yes”, then how?
