The average age of the world's greatest democratic civilizations from the beginning of history has averaged about 200 years. During those 200 years, those civilizations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith
2. From spiritual faith to great courage
3. From courage to liberty
4. From liberty to abundance
5. From abundance to complacency
6. From complacency to apathy
(this one got us to where we are on Proposition 8)
7. From apathy to dependence
8. From dependence back into bondage
