Maybe because I too hail from the land of Capone, I may b a little jaded, but can someone tell me just what is America guilty of that any empire of the past has
not been guilty of??
Now, on the other hand, there are some things that America has done for the good that no other empire has done. The very latest was the capacity to put as the leader of the free world a man who demographically represents 12% of the population.
Some of u have not run a popsicle stand, not to mention a company of any size. There are necessary evils to this system, which is better than anyone else's as far as I know. There is a reason we have an immigration problem.
Obama ran a PR campaign that was the envy of anyone on Madison Avenue. I commend the guy for that. What his policies will do, that remains to b seen.
Know this though, America has beaten more things than any other empire by the mechanics of her system, and as long as we have a representative republic, we will b just fine.
Some of u are just bored, latter day Romans, go join the Peace Corp and get some perspective!!
