end of the empire

It is said that empires do not just appear, rise, and reign. They also can wither away. Take a look at the roman empire. It lasted for one thousand years. However, it too is now gone. I see a similar future for america. Well, america is a fragile empire. Built on freedom's premise this empire did seems to offer so much more. Sadly, case in point we see our liberties eroding away. It will not be long before night falls on us.
