How did past civilizations rise and fall? How rare is America's
experiment with a republic? With every crisis, power is taken away from
"the people" and transferred to the central government. Does history
give us a clue as to where all this is all headed?

In the nearly 6,000 years of recorded human history, power, like
gravity, seems to inevitably concentrate into the hands of one
individual, sometimes called pharoah, caesar, czar, kaiser, king,
caliph, emperor, monarch, sultan, president or communist dictator. No
matter what the autocratic leader's particular title is, the default
setting for human government throughout history has most often been
monarchy.

From Nimrod to Nebuchadnezzer to Herod to Napoleon to Hitler to Obama
- rulers rise to power promising better things for the human good.
