It's strange how our current situation parallels that of Rome...

[JackORoses]

Right about now is the time the Senators start to get fed up with Caesar.
Just before they have a stabbing party on the Senate floor.

Warner's resolution is the first knife of many more to come.
Just watch as they pile on when the blood starts to flow.

1. Every mighty empire has it's fall

Ours will be no different than that of previous empires who force themselves upon the rest of the world.

[Homer12]

2. More Parallel's to Rome

- Military strecthed to its limit.

- The Erosion of the Republic.

- Cheap Labor from illigeal immigrants, outsourcing of jobs to other countries, business moving for cheap labor, (i.e. Roman
slaves doing the jobs of Roman Citizens)

- Using only force to acheive political goals

3. there is no such thing as coincidence

I am reminded of the overly used line, "those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it"

[sweetheart]

4. not caesar

Caesar was a brave general, and a charismatic leader no doubt, to achieve
his success in a world without television, where respect is gained person to person.

Oh, were our problem that we were lead by caesar... instead of a cowardly fuck.

[northzax]

5. nah, it's not like we have lead drinking water pipes in our capital

oh, wait a sec...

[babydollhead]

7. lead poisoning...stupid and moody

learning disabilites, emotional problems...stupid and moody, in our house

[Javaman]

6. I think most empires follow the same bell curve. nt
