Sergei appears to have a much clearer view of us than we have of ourselves.
Two hundred years is the average lifespan of any government before it devolves into chaos, anarchy, and eventual military rule and dictatorship.
We are pompous if we think it can't/won't happen to us.
Right now, just under half of all Americans receive some form of government dole. When it tips to just over half, the great American experiment in democracy is, for all intents and purposes, over.
We may still have a chance to save it, but Sergei is correct: more of us and our friends and relatives need to get involved in saving freedom if it is to be saved.
I fear it is already too late.
I weep for my country.
