#1 I guess we will have a ring-side seat whether we want to or not. At some point we may have to chose up sides whether we want to or not--much like a Civil War scenario. What surprises me is that there is not more widespread outrage across the country with the unvarnished corruption. The attitude is "I'm doing this, getting away with it, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it." The only varnish provided is that provided by the MSM. They spent a great deal of time covering up cat scat. My 95 year old mother-in-law, who grew up in Europe prior to WWII and a survivor of the Holocaust, said the present times feel a lot like pre-WWII Europe and the Nazi rise to power.

#3 Those in power often do not anticipate "unintended consequences." They tend to figure they have everything arm-chaired and under control whereas the reality is much different.

#4 I thought Obama's election marked that.

#5 It took four terrible Emperors to get Rome beyond the point of no return. Depending upon where you count we've still got a terrible President or two left after this election.

Of course Rome had more history and might have had a stronger foundation than the US so its hard to tell.
