- Greetings and Salutations
- But is the United States now, or has it ever been, a nation of the type that
- will enjoy an epic? We are split into so many little groups that as RAH said a
- long time ago, we have lost our sense (if we ever had any) of nationhood and
- singularity. We are too involved with being hyphenate Americans and have given
- up on just being "American."
- Next step: Balkanization of North America. (Canada will go after the US
- falls.) If not Balkanization, then a short period of
- facism/socialism/communism - then the fall. Welcome to the future :-| (no
- smiley).
