No, the world is not coming to an end. "Just" your way of life. If you think this isn't going to get ugly, I'm sure the Romans thought that way, too. Rome was too big and powerful to fall. Times change, people don't. We just keep finding new ways to surveil people and blow each other up. I hardly think things are getting better. We always make the same mistakes over and over. Now it's America's turn to fall and another country will be the new super power. It's arrogant to think otherwise. I hate it. I live here. I love this country. We had it all right in our hands and dropped the ball. The best form of government ever known to man, handed down to us from men who had unbelieveable foresight. We blew it. Now it's going to collapse. It's happening right in front of your face. My concern is how it's going to be built back up again -- our way or "their" way???
