will we ever get to that point? doubt it, but that's the pessimist in me. the optimist sees america's "ideal" system as a great model for some other nation to take hold of and build on. it's almost as if we've gotten to big for our britches.

maybe i'm wrong, and maybe we've got another 150, 200, 400 years of being the world's superpower, upon which other nations and groups of nations view and attempt to emulate. who knows? it's all speculation, but something to think about.

i mean...i'm sayin tho.
