We've inherited our laws, policy and notions of liberty from them. By using Greece I realize I'm generalizing, but it would include Athens.

U.S. is not the only super power so with that in mind I quote Einstein: "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." Let's just hope that tiki learns how to etch on stones. The next thing I would do is try to see how to relate this to a picture of Abe...heh @nyokki:

Honestly, I often think about Ancient Greece and compare it to the U.S. I look at the ruins of what was once a dominant and adored civilization and contemplate whether or not that will be our <span style="text-decoration:underline" class="bbcode-underline"></span> fate. I sincerely hope that if anything we have learned from their mistakes but I fear we are too late. So consumed with greed we conserve our families and limit their numbers but other countries still developing increase at an exponential rate. If this country survives its greed 300 million Americans will seem insignificant. Especially if India figures out how to build EMP bombs without the world’s knowledge of it.

Can anyone say fuck Nostradamus? “I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to
tremble for the safety of my country; corporations have been enthroned, an era of
corruption in High Places will follow, and the Money Power of the Country will
endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the People, until
the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed.”
