[QUOTE="Justice C. Bigler, post: 33863, member: 74"] Re: 2011 U.S. Budget Cut in Perspective It should be clear to all observers by now, that we are in the midst of a global upheaval the likes of which humanity has never seen. Even an average country has more wealth and more power than the entirety of the world from ages past, to say nothing of the so called "super powers". What we are witnessing is a fundamental restructuring of the human existence. The metrics by which we have measured success in the past, namely wealth and power, are fundamentally flawed and are in the process of "being iron out". The idea and core concept of America will survive. Whether the United Stated of America as incorporated in the Constitution will survive is another matter that only time will determine. Our greatest enemy is not a union of socialist republics, or eastern empires, or foreign nationals climbing our boarders, or fundamentalist terror organizations; rather our greatest enemy is ourselves. If this Country fails, it will be because it tore itself apart from the inside out. And yet, I think the chances of that happening are remote, at best. But, the longer we go on bickering about irrelevant partisan differences, the worse the chances are that this county as it exists now will survive. [/QUOTE]
