All the past empires/world powers have had their downfalls at the end of their lifespan, why not us?
I can still recommend Barbara Tuchman's "Distant Mirror" as an excellent history book to read.

That is a great book!
Yeah, I can handle the end of the American Empire (except, what empire?). I'm prepared to don native Texan dress and entertain the Chinese tourists. Make plenty of yen with my turkey calls and gunslinging exhibition.  |
