>>My point was to point out other first world nations which are in far worse shape than the US and which may serve as a real time example to our citizens since their fall looks likely to occur before ours.
Fair enough. Spain already had a worker's revolution in 1936, so perhaps another won't hurt. ;-)
>> Our citizens will blissfully ignore the obvious parallels while watching nanosecond bits of it on youtwitfacegram before becoming bored and hashtagging a picture of their lunch to noone.
LOL, be sure to hashtag a picture of the turkey tomorrow! ;-) Of course it already is 4 July elsewhere in the world, and just another workday. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
