"All civilizations decline. That's a fact of history. The cause is -
civilization! The more organized a state become, the more successful.
But, the more successful the state the more affluent elements ascend to
the the top and using their individual power, they steer the government
toward self serving goals that have nothing to do with national
survival. Soon, the civilization becomes top heavy and topples from
sheer elitist lethargy. There is a revolution, the nation crumbles into
chaos and the whole things starts over on a new playing filed. The USA
has achieved all it can and now will fall for reasons stated above. It
is not reparable. It has to go the same way other nations fell. The
world will miss us terribly."
