Who's doing that? It's so passe. Now's the time to say how bad people we are, how much the Swiss hate us for our tropical concentration camp, how NOT giving free money to abortionists stifles free speech and not giving your paycheck to Korean clone-fakers is somehow supporting pentacostal creationists. (Yes, all references to the President's exec. orders.)And its all the fault of that evil islamophobe, George W!
That's what I was gonna say.
Like HELL it doesn't. Decline is inevitable. But while it happens, it sure is a great ride. Only problem is, our idea of empire is kinda fucked up. The Romans, Mongols, Brits, Soviets, and others have generally built empires to get wealthy and keep the wealth for themselves.
For some reason, we built an empire to throw money away. America Luxe Imperia is worse than the Ming Dynasty's voyages of Chang Ho in the 1400s, when they spent all their money telling the rest of the world how great they are.
Sorry, Vomit my friend (heh heh, gotta chuckle at that), but you seem to have a voracious hate complex toward America. I suggest renting a shack in the eastern hillside slums of Lima, Peru for a month or so, and then get back to me.
