Poll
Question: How long do you expect the United States to last?
#1
Were getting close to the end.
 
#2
We're not close yet, but if you are a young man/woman, you might see it in the twilight of your life.
 
#3
We have more than a good century left. After which, it gets REALLY blurry. Think the British Empire.
 
#4
We'll be around for a few centuries, I just think our country will eventually get tired of its self after that. Think Rome.
 
#5
America is destined to be the next Chinese civilization, that will last thousands of years, with or without disruption.
 
#6
Other, explain.

United States

The United States is an empire in scale even with a republican government. Even before the Louisiana Purchase the United States was huge by national standards of the time.

Most of the empires of the past had built-in flaws that people thought virtues.  Those empires couldn't re-define themselves, and although they seemed unchanging, the stasis hid the rot. The United States can redefine itself -- and does so. We don't commit ourselves to obsolete technologies and ideologies.
