Annie read the piece I posted about Immigration and the fact that Rome fell and Immigration played a part. Timothy Birdnow wrote this piece and this is a popular view of the immigration "problem."
I think our country is following in the foot steps of Rome, some of the signs are a Rich class and a poor class of citizens. A general break down in our society of right and wrong.
One of the most appalling thing i have read about Rome was the practice of using children as sexual out lets. Our country has a very high rate of pedophiles.
I turned on the TV yesterday to get the news and the two main topics were, Paris Hilton and that gangster show that went off the air the night before "the sopranos". The news media talked about that show like it was the most important happening in our lives. In my view the general public has no clue as to what is going on in the world and wants to be entertained at all times.
One of the things Rome was noted for in the end was the mass crowds that attended the fights in their theaters.
In the end i think our country will fail just like Romeo and I think the main course will be because there will be so many people in the poor class that they will over run our country. if a group of people are so poor and have no hope then they have nothing to lose.So I think that immigrants will help bring this country down because they will be part of the large poor class.This is what happen in Rome.

Love the photo across the top. I guess I will have to put one up on my blog too. Fleta, Helen and now you have one.
Thanks, Patsy, for explaining more.
I've been thinking about the mid-1800's through the 1930's when there were masses and masses of poor including a huge number of immigrants and a some very very wealthy people (Kennedy's, Rockefellers, Carnegie, etc). Our country didn't fall then though it took the wisdom of Franklin Roosevelt to set things right when they fell apart. I hope that, if things fall apart as you predict, America will have another wise leader ready to set things right again.
