End Of Empire Time

Commenter "Demid" at Huffington:

We are become Rome, and it is not pretty. The masses are obese on cheap bread, dulled by circuses (we call them sports), and dumbed down thanks to the destructio­n of public education by the far right acting as the servants of the plutocracy­. The plutocrats can, and will, leave the country for their mansions around the world. The rest of us cannot. We can only reap the whirlwind. And we will. Because we are that stupid. And that sheep-like in our behavior.
