The Fall of the Roman Empire
The decline and fall of the Roman Empire was as much due to the internal disintegration of the ties that bind a society together as to the assaults by Rome’s external enemies. The privilege and sense of duty of being a Roman citizen was destroyed by cheapening that citizenship by freely giving it to too many other people.
Click for next
A critically important sense of duty and responsibility had eroded among the Romans. Without that, the Roman Empire could not survive.
Without that, Australia also will not survive.
Tangible wealth and power are not enough to save a nation. The tangibles do not work without the intangibles."
- Thomas Sowell (adapted)
Our national way of thinkingis one of the important
‘intangibles’currently damaging toour nation’s wellness.
True Australians from times pasthad a different, more humbleand realistic way of thinking.
Their way of thinking, not ours,built the fantastic Australia
that we inherited.

A conscious and deliberatechange in our thinking will
change our national attitude,

and give us a far greater
sense of duty and responsibility ,therefore making us far
more capable of rescuing and protecting our national culture, our
heritage and our civilisation.

Changing the words we usewill change our thinking
and our attitudes.

For the better!
When people arehumble and grateful
[ and NOT arrogantly proud ]

of what theystand to lose….
