"Two centuries ago, a somewhat obscure Scotsman named Tytler made this profound observation: 'A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy'.”

What are the odds of a Margaret Thatcher coming to power at the same time that Ronald Reagan was president?

What were the odds of a such an extraordinary gathering of genius being present at the time of the founding of the USA?

What were the odds of a US victory at Midway?

What were the odds of a single pilot being essentially responsible for the defeat of both Japan and Germany in World War II?

If divine intervention was responsible, then why can't it happen again?

If it wasn't responsible, then there is no hope and we should all collect guns and ammo.
