What will America do when it is over? What will she say to: The World? It will end...
None of this can go on forever. Will she say so flatly, simply, and/or without emotion, as she has done from time to time...

"I'm sorry. You know how it is, World. What's a girl to do? Her vaunted Constitution so riddled with riddles that even the lesser among us were able to run in there and do whatever the hell they wanted to do, tying up the hands of otherwise, so-called noble presidents for generations. The citizenry for generations. Men, women, and children for year and years to come. Tying up the blood while spilling it, depleting treasures. Some amassed upon good intent, and true innovation. Squandering the dwindling resources of other nations, other peoples; in the course of spilling their too often innocent blood. Hm? Sorry?"

Will she ever say she is sorry and mean it? Is it within her temperament to do so?

3. No, it won't end. Once the Caesars had destroyed the Roman Republic
Edited on Thu Jan-17-08 01:30 AM by tom_paine
it lasted 500 more years.

(OK, so it wil end but not soon enough to be relevant to ourselves or anyone alive today)

And while there are MANY similarities of our nation to 1930s Germany, our Bushie Caesars will not make the mistakes of being overt about it, or forcing the issue as their spiritual antecedents the Nazis did.

After all, if Hitler had stopped at Poland and the Low Countries, the world would not have banded together to defeat him.

Truly, there is very little hope at this point, though I am not arguing for giving up and I would never advocate not voting.

Amerika is going to have to ride this thing to the end. It has been reprogrammed more thoroughly than the Nazis ever could have dreamed, thanks to innovations is advertising, marketing, psychology, public relations and the science of lying.

4. "It will end"
Freefall's always end, but what fell is never the same afterwards.

6. If you mean to say America will end, I disagree.
Comparatively speaking, we are still in the dawn of our history. America is an infant nation among many countries hundreds of years our senior.

Things are bad, yes, but they can (and likely will) change. A nation which spans the entirety of North America does not simply die and vanish overnight.
