Reporter: "Mr. Gandhi, what are your thoughts on Western Civilization?"
Mohandas Gandhi: "I think it is an excellent idea, the time for which has finally come!"

First you get good, then you get fast, then you get good and fast.
On a related note, "The Decline of Western Civilization" is a flick I've never seen, although I think the first sequel is absolutely excellent.

I'm pretty sure you only have to wait a year or so before all the red tape is cut for a move to Canada from the US. Might as well apply now. You can leave quicker.
What goes up must come down. - The stock market.
What comes down will go up. -The waves of the ocean.
The moon will be full and then eclipse.
The weather will always change.
So we go with flow and we may enjoy the ride either up or down.
However, if we go against the tide or the flow, we will have tough time to hold our direction steady; if not engulfed by the waves and sunk into the bottom of the ocean.

Chinese culture integrated so many other cultures over the period of 5000 years of recorded history.
Western cultures had renaissance since the 16 century.
Western cultures are thriving and leading in the 21 century.
We are going to the moon and then Mars.

Internet freed people to more instant media and communication.
Free flow of info, digitalized image and text are beyond borders.
We no longer rely on books, mags, TV, and newspaper alone for info.
The info has global reach in the computer of your home.
Western culture or any culture will have instant global effects via internet.
A culture in digital communications, cell phone, mobile computing, on and on.
The civilization from the era of recording on trees, bamboo sticks, tortoise shells is replaced by internet and binary sig.
The declines are the time, space, and many other barriers.

Western Civilisation and its institutions always form under external threat, from its founding with the Holy Roman Empire to the present day. It appears more warlike than is true in consequence.
Best longer answer is to read the Western Canon, but I don't want to get you down or anything. Reading Plato when you've been sucking the pipe kinda blows.

The First movie the Decline of Western Civilization is avery good movie with many punk bands from California that have never been recorded outside of that video. Hard to get but definately worth seeing if not for Fear performing "I love living in the City".
