I'm normally a "glass half-full" guy, but 2012 indicates to me the end. Empires rise and fall.

I look at the Roman Empire, France, Spain, Italy, England. All at one time were great and powerful. Hell, even Denmark and the Netherlands were powerful.

I once belived that the USA would change the historical paradigm. Ronald Reagan stated that "freedom and democracy will leave Marxism and Leninism on the ash heap of history." The Soviet Union fell, only to be succeeded by Putinism.

It happens. I'd prefer that the USA be the world's preeminent power, but I can't help but observe what appears to be inevitable. One man is helping to make it happen.
