America will shortly be relegated to the dustbin of history where it will join the long and impressive list of failed empires: Roman, Byzantine, Han, Mongol, Holy Roman, Persian and so on. Where did we ever become so arrogant that we came to believe that "this time it will be different." Our forefathers gave us a republic and we lost it. None of this is new. It was already in full swing by 1893 with the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii. And it was beyond any fix or control by 1917 when MI6 scammed Woodrow Wilson info joining WW1 on the side of the British Empire. It's over and unlike Great Britain we are not homogeneous enough to survive as a cohesive unit. They probably are not either; the jury is still out on that one. My money say by 2050 America looks more like this than anything else.
Stayathomia...if the Farmer's Almanac is correct, a lot of us will indeed be doing that this coming winter.
At least you have a sense of humor.
