I read somewhere ,an article, but can't remember the name of the writer, which indicated: First Revolution, then building and getting ahead,then complacency. , Then cycle over again.

Something to that matter.

I guess people just take for granted the good life they have, and can't be botherd to work to save it, greed kicks in. The more you have the more you want.Not concerned about other things, the pockets are what are important. Other words DON'T WANT TO FIGHT TO SAVE IT.They might get hurt or die. So they let others take over. and live under their rule, until they had enough of not having their freedoms,or good life anymore. Then they do fight to get it back. eventually. Then it starts all over again.THATS REVOLUTION.

We haven't got there, yet. But it could happen, if we don't watch it.
