My history book, in elementary school, had this picture in it. It's the last Roman Emperor handing over his crown. I always pulled for the empires, and those emperors who made them bigger, and never understood what made them fall apart. I'm never political, at least on this thing, but I was thinking about this tonight, wondering what's going to be in the history books about the Decline and Fall of the American Empire. "It was bankers...exotic financial instruments...over-borrowing...bubbles"
Hubris. There you go, future historians, and political junkies. A thousand years from now, maybe that'll sum it up. Nothing ever changes, right? That's a switch. Listen to the Pixies, because they are awesome. |
