Good analysis. Our time to reverse is short. I'm not confident the societal will exists for the battle.

I don't believe all is lost in the battle ... coming back will take effort and time. As Mr. Richmond commented, societal will is important. Teaching history as a "required" for high school matriculation may well help reinforce that. We have too many amongst us who do not know the wisdom of the Federalist Papers

As I have read it, the Roman decline started when Rome changed from a republic to an empire.

Great article as usual, but I think you have “out” where you meant “our” so it reads kinda weird…

Proofreading sucks. I fixed it.
