America is a strong and resilient country.

So was Rome.

...and how long did the Roman Empire flourish?

Everything happens much faster these days. Do you remember how quickly the Soviet Union collapsed? Just a few years before it did, how many people would have imagined it would?

Empires are stable until they're not.

And so many are blind to what is happening, so many just don't pay attention and just vote for a face and not the issues. The water in the pot isn't boiling yet, and only a small percentage of we frogs are starting to squirm while the rest just think it's global warming.

I don't vote for "a face"... I vote for the one that is NOT a Republican. Simple, really...

This frog hopped out of the pot some time ago. And she's have a pretty horrifying time of it watching the rest of you wiggle around in the pot, slowly poaching, while half of you are arguing that the greenish yellow frogs caused it all while the other half are arguing that the yellowish green frogs did.

LOOK AT WHO HAS THE FLAME TO THE POT, PEOPLE!

So simple it is GENIUS.

I've always thought so...

I am sure you mean just since '84 when you left the republican party.

Why, yes... I do... (Although, I really had to hold my nose to vote for Nixon, Ford, Reagan...)
