Will inflation and unemployment continue to escalate? Will webeembroiledina land war in the MiddleEast? Will we be able to maintain our present role as leader of the world's free and independent nations? Or willwe be relegated to the ranks of the formerly great, having lost the respect of even our friendsand allies? Thesequestionsare vitalto your future! The idea that we as a nation could become a political non entity is so unthinkable to most Americans that they automatically reject it. But to ignore the possibility of a national decline is to ignorethe graphiclessonsof history. As the famous philosopher Santayana observed, ''Those who ignorethe lessonsof historyare destinedto relivethem." History is replete with examples of great nations which rose to a position of power, prospered for a time, began to decay, and finally weresweptinto oblivion. The most outstanding example of these superpowers of the past is the Roman Empire. Two thousand years ago, Rome's wealth and military strength staggered the imagination of the ancient world. But when free bread and circuses became more important to the people than hard work and patriotism, Rome beganto crumble. 2 DESCENTINTOSLAVERY? Through the historical works of Edward Gibbon, Philip Myers, Samuel Dill, Jerome Carcopino and others, we learn that the demiseof mightyRome wasbrought about bythe same nation al diseases that are presentlywrackingthe United States and other nations in the West: rampant crime, inflation, a breakup of the home and the resultant increase in divorce, an explosion in gov ernment bureaucracy, welfarism, the decline of patriotism, and the collapseof national resolve. Letstake a closerlook at ancientRome. Like America, Rome was built on the solid foundation of a stable family structure. But by the beginning of the second cen tury, most Roman fathers had succumbed to the trends of the time: "Having given up the habit of controlling their children, they let their children govern them, and took pleasure in bleeding themselves white to gratify the expensive whimsof their offspring. The result was that they were succeeded by a generation of idlers and wastrels, who had grown accustomed to luxury and lost all sense of discipline" (Carcopino, Daily Life in Ancient Rome, pp.78-79). At the same time Rome witnessed "an epidemic of divorces," writesthe same author. He quotes Senecaas havingstated, "They marryinorder to divorce"(pp. 97, 100). Wasit sodifferent from our modern society? Carcopino tells us that a strong ''women's rights" movement developed in Roman society: "Some [wives] evaded the duties of maternity for fear of losing their good looks, some took pride in being behind their husbands in no sphere of activity, and vied with them in tests of strength which their sex would seem to for bid: some were not content to live their lives by their husband's side, but carried on another life without him. . . It is obvious that unhappy marriages must have been innumerable" (pp. 90, 93,95). The results? A continuing breakdown in the family struc tureand disintegrationof the parent-childrelationship. What about Roman schools? "They undermined instead of strengthened the children's morals, they mishandled the children's bodies instead of devel oping them, and if they succeeded in furnishing their minds with AVOICEFROMTHE PAST 3 a certain amount of information, they were not calculated to perform any loftier or nobler task. "The pupils left school with the heavy luggage of a few prac tical and commonplace notions laboriously acquired and of so little value that in the fourth century Vegetius could not take for granted that newrecruits for the army would be literate enough to keepthe books for the corps" (pp. 106-107). The dismal education of these young Romans left them with no setof moral values,and no senseof patriotism. "The Roman virtues-honesty, candor, frugality and patriot ism-withered and died. What wasleft wasa people whom neither the vices of the rulers nor the increasinglybold attacks of foreign enemies could shake out of their apathy." Instead of facing these mounting problems, the Roman people flocked to the theaters. This attempted escape through fantasy and entertainment served only to further weaken the eroding moral fiberof the Romans. "In all the great cities of the provinces, the theater held the same placeof bad preeminence in the sociallife of the inhabitants. "The Roman stage was gross and immoral. It was one of the main agencies to which must be attributed the undermining oftheoriginallysoundmorallifeofRoman society. ."So absorbed did the people become in the indecent repre sentations on the stage, that they lost all thought and care for theaffairsofreallife"(Myers, Rome:ItsRiseandFall, pp. 515,516). Could this same deplorable condition be repeating itself in Americatoday? The Romans reveled in the thrills and excitement of sport spectaculars. They were caught up in a "feverish rush for exite ment,for something new tofeed thesatedsenses." They "thrilled with barbaric joy" and "could not restrain theirdelight"at the sightof the bloodiestconflicts. ''The thousands of Romans who, day after day, from morning till night, could takepleasurein thisslaughterand not spare a tear for those whose sacrifice multiplied their [gambling] stakes, were learning nothing but contempt for human life and dignity" (Carcopino, Daily life inAncientRome, pp. 238,240,243). This total decay of Rome's moral fiber signalled the final collapseof the empire.
