I regret to say, will be the downfall of the American Empire as it was of the Roman Empire. Our situation cannot be totally compared but our wealth is too wealthy at the cost of the average person. It is totally proving true when one looks at wages of CEO and the results for those employed by them as well as those who invested in them. This whole period became a total mockery of the system. This could very well lead into the request on the part of the people for change that is more apt to become socialistic than not. Tax evasion takes place due to loop holes in the law the loop holes are blinders on the part of either party as to where taxes are going to come from. The law is again used by those with the most so they can pay the least. Simplified tax law would eliminate so much of this and the end result would be probably be more wealth for America. Courage to act upon said lies in fear of the lobbyist who is apt to find corporate America in default whoops now can we send the bill off shore? Unfortunately, war represents the "health" of the government. It's at times of war that government gains more and more power over its own citizenry --- and I'm not talking about another nation's. This is true but it is a little bit more difficult to create unity of our nation by means of a war against any other nation by this nation. We are muts of the world In an increasingly less optimistic economy this ends up as muts are thinking mudder land and we resume the internal poverty riots. I wonder Searle if in any fiat driven economy that is self contained and sanctions contrived could one end up with offense being the product to drive the economy? There of the meaning of self driven or engineered performance can be applied to any nation in the world. Doesn't it say something like that in the US Constitution? It's unfortunate that those who are elected to uphold that Constitution, don't read it more often. This is the most fitting statement you could make. To me it was the base of the nation the law i respect limit before the dog eat dog unlimited era began.

Disney officials warned there may be storm clouds on the horizon for its theme park business, as reservations for hotels at the parks are slowing down in the current quarter. Chief Financial Officer Thomas Staggs said attendance was off 6 percent for the quarter compared with last year. He added that bookings are down 10 percent thus far in the fourth quarter when compared with 2001. SA on the subject of war when a nation has experienced what we have experienced i feel if war happens we will be in the worst possible shape. We now know wars will not necessarily be confined to outside of our nation.
