The likelihood that a nation or civilization will collapse is directly related to the number of laws that are imposed on the citizens who are not involved in government.
A corollary to this theory is:
Each law imposed on citizens creates a new group of criminals.
From the economic perspective:
The likelihood that a nation will collapse is directly related to the action of fellow citizens who govern and take more from the haves to give to themselves and to the have nots. Inevitably there will be few, if any, haves and many or all citizens will be have nots.
It is easier to be a have not who demands more of those who have, than it is to be a have whose labors are confiscated to meet the demands of the have nots.

It struck me that the result from the effort to rid the past of the history of slavery now may come to the perfect ending with the elimination of a past problem that doesn't exist now. That itself deserves the "Go figure" award.

Many threads of wisdom flow freely, constantly or is it just reality like that expressed in lyrics in the Simon & Garfunkel song, "The Boxer" wherein stated: "All lies in jest when a man hears what he wants to hear and forgets all the rest". So, history is guided to the next round of mental boxing. With others sometimes?
