1. Brutus was a teabagger?

[Odin2005]

19. Cato certainly was.

[CBGLuthier]

2. Yes. Exactly. The Romans sat in front of their computers crying like babies.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. That's A Good Point

The average Roman probably didn't even know what was happening. This is worse.

[Cali_Democrat]

5. So true. n/t

[Cirque du So-What]

4. I don't think we're there yet

but considering the relatively meteoric rise of the American Empire compared to how long it took the Romans to put theirs together, our decline & fall could very well occur at a swifter pace as well.

6. Funny, but I was out to lunch with a friend and I asked the same question.

7. OMG... I've Been Talking About Rome For Over TWO Years Now!

I don't know if this is how they felt, but I've had a very bad feeling for a very long time!

8. Same here

Part of me keeps following these sorts of discussions, hoping against hope that we can still turn things around, but I think it's a real long shot at this point. What worries me most is the amount of damage we're causing to the rest of the world on our way out. At least the Romans didn't have to worry about global climate change and oil spills and other such catastrophes.

13. Oh Yes... THE BIGGER PICTURE Of What Was Before... Very, Very Scary! n/t

12. In Twenty Years, Maybe Ten, America Will Be Just Another Nation

Probably like the current Great Britain...

If you don't believe that there is nothing I can do to disabuse you of that notion.

14. I guess that they melted down their gold statues?

[Igel]

15. No.

The final days of the Roman Republic.

[Proles]

16. NO!

Now please excuse me while I go to the colosseum.

[Safetykitten]

17. Yes, but "Rome's Got Talent" was not a top rated show.

[Odin2005]

18. I think the end of the Roman Republic is a better analogy.

20. Well at least we aren't outsourcing our national security to tribes we conquered yet.
