Hi Raymond Duray; Re: "That's what will end the American Empire, its own hypocrisy and hubris." Oh! You mean that our "Empire" can last forever providing we get rid of the hubris and hypocrisy? I guess there's lots of historical examples of successful Empires that lasted thousands (the US has already lasted hundreds) of years by sticking to truth and avoiding acting like a bully.

Re: "Enron is just a harbinger of things to come." Wow! I hadn't realized that the history of every stock market on the planet wasn't replete with stories of bad accounting since stock markets were invented 400 years ago! Amazing that all of a sudden we've figured out a way to separate greedy investors from their money! No one else ever did this ever before! Maybe you should read this:

Re: "You are looking at the tree and not the forest of deception surrounding you." Sure enough, the US invented deception too! Before 1776 governments were perfectly honest with their citizens, and with their foreign relations. Heck, they still are, except for the US.
