What stands before us is either the fall of Rome or the birth of a new world. Each of us in our own way helps determine which one it will be.

Let this chapter be the genesis of an enlightened society, with an understanding that the health, education and respect for all people will lead to our individual happiness & success. Let's support each other rather than tearing people down.

Our founding fathers could not anticipate all of the senarios we the people would face, it is clear the intention of the authors of our Constitution was to support the respect for our citizens. The fact that blacks & women were not identified was "the times" rather than intent.

I was just thinking this last night! I recognize USA, has many people unaware of their reality. Thank you for this message: I think the challenge I have: can we align as a species on the direction of the new world? 🙏🏾

I’ve been hearing this ever since I can remember. I also Remember Greta Garbo as Ninotchka saying: “your civilization is doomed”. A few decades later, having lasted less than a century, hers collapsed, not “ours”.

Why isn't it both? Rome fell and generated a new world not ruled over by one single imperial monopoly.

Can it be both ?

Isn’t it both? I was reflexively trying to save the one we’ve got, til I realized what would be conserved. The hatching out won’t be painless, but I’m realizing how terribly destructive the existing system has been.

So you've decided to carry water for the Roman Empire... Otherwise known as the DNC.

(1) A flattening s-curve for a whole civilization presents the choice between reform or reaction. Rome going from republic to empire was reaction. Since Reagan it's been mostly reaction including a second civil war between Wall Street and the Sunbelt.

No, the fall is necessary for the rebirth, do not pretend like we can skip it. We are absolutely screaming towards a serious reckoning and even god can’t stop it now.
