On Mon, 01/18/2021 - 02:52 PM

If one studies history, he will find that most nations rise and fall in a relatively short period of time.  
Democracies seems to exist for an even shorter time. The United States as a recognized country has existed for 232 years, and our demise may be overdue.

“Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date that will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.”  These words mark the beginning of Franklin Roosevelt’s famous “Infamy Speech” where he asked Congress for a declaration of war against Japan.
