I reflect on the collapse of Rome. Our America, as great as it is, is not impervious to flaw and failure, as demonstrated by what happened in Rome, the GREATEST empire in history.
Government corruption, moral decline, and the might of the military reduced to a bunch of egotistical sadists, who betrayed there own.
The greatest empire was lost.
As I reflect on the collapse of Rome, I look at what is happening to a nation that I was once proud of. I say "was once" proud of, because I am no longer proud of what I am seeing in terms of policy making and our democracy (assumed), in action. I am going to raise my flag at half-staff until I see some shred of hope.
Hope, now isn't that a funny word?
