#2 More like 3rd Century Rome, until some capable emperors emerged (from the army).

#3 The reality is that about 40% of men and nearly 100% of women (Rantburg women excepted) prefer autocratic collectivism where everybody has a secure place funded by parasitizing the innovative and the entrepreneurial.

There is a reason pharaonic Egypt lasted three millennia. Consciously or unconsciously weak humans pine for that sort of secure anxiety-free existence. It takes a special kind of person and an ability to resist the narcotic allure of a magic government paycheck and unfortunately we are living in a time when people with that capability are overwhelmed by people without it.

#6 I wouldn't use the term "chaos" for what's happening, it's the Turd World War.

#9 no mo uro, I think you are right in general regarding the world but the US has always been different and has attracted the folks that don't think that way. That might be breaking down but I'm not so pessemistic that another Reagan couldn't really fix things up.

I don't really see a Reagan out there right now however.

#10 Right now, RJ, we don't need another Reagan. We need another Calvin Coolidge.
