[null and void]

Will we someday be a myth, also?

Dunno.

Here's BlueLancer's take:

200 years from now, I want their children's children's children's children
to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead
because their legends tell of fire from the sky.

I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth,
shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines
because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters
crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.

I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with
"If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you",
and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obesience.

I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology
will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea
.. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.

200 years? That’s an eyeblink! I’m talking 10,000 years from now. Will there still be a United States? Will we even be a legend?

If we can get the rest of the world squared away, maybe they’ll at least remember that we existed, once upon a time.
