A solid read, we have endured and prospered through much worse. My $.02 we are in a tough recession magnified by the foibles of a weak divisive leader.

I have greater confidence in Republicans taking back congress in 2014 than Romney beating Zero. I do think this younger generation may have to relearn some Hobbesian lessons the hard way, but they will, America has spectacular inherent advantages in resources, geography, military might , technology and opportunity appeal ( smart people from all over still want to come here for the freedoms and opportunity) and will be fine, though she may look different than what we are currently familiar with. This evolution happens to all empires.
