Good post, BSGrinder, about similarities between Rome and us. My only comment: you forgot perhaps the closest and most ominous parallel of all: the wave after wave of foreign peoples who moved into and settled within the confines of the Empire. Rome responded by extending citizenship to these new peoples, which perhaps did not seem like such a bad idea at the time. After all, the new people felt genuine admiration for the accomplishments of Rome. Only trouble was: they had not the slightest clue concerning how and why Rome was able to do what it did.
