I am nervous, excited and happy all at once, because the Liberty Ball is tonight! This means that we all get to dress up. :) I may be a jeans girl normally, but I am first and foremost a
girl. Therefore, I love to dress up.
But I will save a review for tomorrow. For today, I will for once keep things short.
Today in one of my classes, we were discussing Marx and Engels. The conversation turned to our time, and the constant march toward centralization in government. It makes me think - democracy isn't going to last forever. Nothing does. America's not going to maintain its overarching power forever, either. Past ages have always had their supreme powers, and every one has given way to something else. We live in a world that's always shifting, and always imperfect, so that when something rises, something else falls. Some day we'll be the ones falling. In some ways, we already are. Who will be on top next? I don't know. Who's rising right now? If I had to pick, I would say Russia, a country finding its way to Christianity now, will rise as America falls.
Just a thought.
