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.

As a superpower?  Perhaps until the middle of this century.

As a republic? We have a long ways to go, barring a combination of catastrophic natural disasters (Yellowstone Caldera eruption + asteroids hitting Earth + devastating plagues) and another world war. 

America has plenty of life left in it.  We can last as long as the Roman Empire did, if not longer. 

Wouldn't the Roman Republic be a better comparison?
