I have to agree NUKE.. but your statement got me wondering..

for how long? I mean history has shown us that every super empire/world power has risen and then fallen.

so how much time does the US have as the world power? 50 years? 100 years? more?

Well ... we have helped speed up society, ya know (well, us and the Japanese). Ya never know. Probably not worth worrying about. Just do the best we can and really, for the most part, ignore the whiners. (Well, except here on the AHBB). ;)

50 would be good for me, after that Screw you guys, I'm dead already.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

History has never seen a society like this.  Who knows what will happen.  The empires that have fallen in the past were not democratic.

GB was not democratic at the time of it's empire, and it is still a super power.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.  225 years and growing stronger every day.

It's "Don't quit your day job."

Just tryin' to help. I've noticed you use "quite" for "quit" in this phrase before. Sure .... I know what you meant. Yep, I know, you're a Swede and you speak better English than I do Swedish. Der herdy flurty schnipp schnipp.

Ok ... carry on. :D

Thank you, Arlo, I will help you to: its not "Der herdy flurty schnipp schnipp" Its: "De hurdi Flurti Schnypp schnypp, BORK, BORK"
