Let us hope that the American Empire falls a little more gracefully then.
The Roman Empire would have been like the embarrassing grandmother who
went slowly mad, forgot her children's names and pissed herself.  Let us
hope that Uncle Sam is diagnosed with an inoperable cancer and given a
very short time to live, during which he throws wild parties for his friends
and relations, and suddenly snuffs it whilst in the middle of a dirty
song :-)

Oh GOOD sigmonster!
