In Response To: Re: Blessed Are The Workers! (Forrest of B.org)

: New Rome, the slowly decaying hyperpower of the world.

Forrest, how old are you? I associate this comment with young people who think they've gotten older and wiser.

I'm a 51 yrold American. I've read ooodles of world history and economics and am by no means an expert. I believe comparisons to Rome are flights of fancy.

A ton of American dollars disappeared over the past ten years into the pockets of banksters and warmongers. The physical and economic devastation is naked eye visible from space I say hyperbolicly.

Empires in decline can't afford to do this kind of thing more than once. I'm proud to say America could easily produce decade-long world misery two, maybe three more times before we would have to accept our own heat-death.

America: misdirected, mismanaged, mistaken; yes. Decayed? We're just now getting the frayed edges old world countries have enjoyed far longer than us.

Here's hoping sometime soon America spends 10 yrs worth of mega-dollars on roads or ponies or free computers for kids. If we did that, nobody would be making the end-of-days arguments.

Not meant to be a rant, just an observation. :)
