    According to the article The Devil in Devolution, the “devolution revolution” is seen as, “The shift in government’s center of gravity away from Washington and toward the states…” which translate to the return of power from the federal government to the state government. In recent years, the author of the article (Donahue) believes that the states have been given too much power, and the power of the federal government has been declining.

    There is evil in the world and, even though we sometimes succumb to that evil, the world goes on and we should not be dragged down by the guilt we experience from those actions. This is the essential meaning of the Gary Jules song “The Devil Keeps Grinning” in which Jules uses symbolism to express that evil exists and sometimes and wins. He uses metaphorical verses “the devil winning and the earth keeps spinning” to express this idea. “The devil keeps winning” represents the fact that people succumb to doing bad things. “The world keeps spinning” represents the guilt that one might feel after doing something wrong but not to dwell on it because, regardless of our actions, life goes on.
