Those were hereditary, but the principle was still the same. A good king takes over, his sons become more complacent, then more corrupt, and then a good king takes over. His sons, generation by generation, become more compacent and corrupt, and the cycle keeps going, so that each dynasty in China was a new moral and political beginning.<BR/><BR/>I don't know where we are in the cycle. Abortion and slavery are being equated more than ever. The dynasty of the United States almost ended with the slavery issue. I wonder if we will make it out of danger this time. The Civil War was a battle of spirited selfishness, I think. I don't know if we're as spirited now; we might have already fallen into complacency. If we've passed that benchmark, it might well be more difficult to turn this train around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
