1. I have no idea, but I suspect it won't be forever. That said I want it to continue - I think there's a lot of good in the United States of America - and I think, at her best, she's better than almost anything else I've seen (and the few exceptions are largely unworkable on a larger scale). Obviously we aren't at our best right now, but I'd like to see us return to our glory days - and that's what I'm going to fight for.

2. I have no idea, but I suspect it won't be forever - I suspect that in order to move successfully away from capatilism to something better we will have to become or have become different types of people. Something akin to mass conversion to "real" Christianity (or any other religion that has love at its core) for example. Or an evolutionary leap forward. If we all really loved each other, than we could move past capitalism. As long as we all kind of despise one another and are just out for the main score, well, capatilism probably works better than anything else with those kinds of people - it certainly works better than anything that has been tried so far.
