WHAT 'BOMB IRAN' REALLY TAKES

[Deicide]

unless we come up with something like I mentioned.

If an american inventor comes up with something that pwns microsoft, we'll have an awesome export.   If an american firm cures cancer, we'll have an awesome export.  If we learn to create mass quantities of rice or whey in a dish from oxygen using nanotechnology, we'll have an awesome export.

It just takes the next big idea to suddenly reverse the trade deficit.  Sure, big companies will grab it and export it.  but that just means yen and euros flooding in, not out.

Good luck with that dream...

Good luck with that dream...

just a few years ago, if someone told you an African-American man would be pwning a decorated white war vet in swing state polls - in the midst of two wars....

you would have laughed in his face, right?

Anything's possible.  80 years ago, nobody believed the computer would have any real function.  Today we can't live without them.  In 80 year, our grandkids will swear by something we cannot yet fathom.

Still, the US is an empire. History teaches us that empires eventually fall, usually because they become too expensive.

this is off topic, I'll add my comment anyway 

I don't want to get old because of this fact. I want to see what life will be like in 100-150 years from now.

See I think I was born in the wrong fucking time period.  Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall.  That's what a real life is all about.  Not our fucking pathetic plasticized society. I could care less what life is like in 100-150 years.  It will probably be more pathetic and fake than it is now.  People will be fucking robots and sucking down liquid slop out of a machine for food.  What's the point of living to 200 years old in that type of world?  Kids will sit around watching some dumbed down t.v. show like The Wiggles instead of playing tag at recess and skinning their knees and elbows.

Also because they become too corrupt.  And also most "revolutions" endured by human beings across the continuum have been a result of unequal wealth distribution.  In America the middle class is being dissolved into the haves and have nots.  Those just barely making it and those spending $2000 on handbags and Jimmy Choo shoes without batting an eye.  You watch.  It will be Americas downfall like it has for many countries.  Without a strong middle class democracy fails.
