Entry: America: An Empire? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/america_an_empire#12842 Post contents: If this conversation had occured a hundred years ago it might have made more sense. The U.S. no longer has the ECONOMIC base to sustain even a limited empire. Its economy is collapsing, the $ is collapsing, the Bof P is beyond unsustainable, the country seems to be smiling and dreaming all the way to the liquidators office, just like Lohan goes to her next court appearance. The population is aging, is obese, diabetic, plagued with heart disease and mental illness, and ignorant. So where is the economic basis for empire and where are the people who will make this happen? The comptroller general of the U.S. has sounded a five alarm fire warning yet the intellectuals of this country spend their time engaged in mental M*****bating. Global climate chaos is upon us, NY is headed underwater, as is Florida. China is the new economic, industrial and military superpower and has already replace the U.S. as the major investor in Africa and Asia. The only lesson I take today is that 2000 years later we are fiddling like Nero as Rome is burning. Sent at: 2009 01 07
