Gary, here's something more to curse and think about --- An American Empire! If You Want It instead of Freedom.

>>>History does not dictate that America continue on its path to global empire, any more than history dictated the “inevitability” of class conflict leading to a socialist paradise or that history dictated the domination of the world by an Aryan “master race.” If America follows this direction it will be because the political elite and the American public choose to do so. It will be a conscious decision, and not fate or destiny. The question, then, is, is this a course that is best for America and the world? And the answer, for any advocate of freedom, must be that it is not....

...Empire will be a costly, frustrating, and burdensome affair. It will require the expenditure of many lives and vast fortunes. And it will undermine what remains of the free society and the market economy here in the United States. At the end of “The Rise of Empire,” Garrett said that the American people could have back their limited, constitutional republic if they were willing to fight for it. But people fight only when they know what they have lost and what they still have to lose. <<<
