All these things are the first signs of empire collapse...
Rome, Ottoman, British, Soviet - just to name a few. Scary as hell if you ask me.

Ancient history,these times will pass too and if I didn't believe that I'd be a piss tank again. Everything turns around, it's all in Gods hands not some fruitcake human.

Reading Colleen McCullough's MASTERS OF ROME series,
it is more than ever clear where we got our bad habits. Politicians have not changed, nor the problems we are trying to solve. Still, too, the humane versus the selfish.

LOL, but there's an important difference! After Cicero wrote that, Rome went on doing quite well for another few hundred years - I'm not sure we have that much time left...
