Western Civilization is greatly indebted to Ancient Greece. They were a superpower even before that fatuous word was ever used. It’s sad to saw to see how far bellow the rock they have sunk, like a prizefighter with some sort of dementia. But that is the natural course of great empires: they rise and they fall. This invites the question, is the U. S. on the wrong end of their life span? Or is this just one of those “raise yourself by your boot straps moment”, that will only make us that much more awesomer. I think it’s the latter but only because it took the Greeks thousands upon thousand of years to get to this point. Than again the U. S. has always been an innovator and I think they could go to shit quicker than any other sovereign state has ever gone to shit. That’s what you call American Exceptionalism.
