Do you ever wonder if there were people like you and me in ancient Rome? Just living their lives, thinking they were up with the times, not knowing how different everything would be? I mean, how will things be different for the world in 3000 years? They'll think about us and say, "I wonder if any of them thought about romance and marriage and worried about jobs or school?"
And do you know how we've all but forgotten Rome, and it was bigger and more powerful than the United States? I think, one day, the U.S. will be forgotten. We'll be just another name in the history books, with ruins that will be visited, ruins of New York City and Washington, D.C. Maybe 3000 years after a nuclear war or something. Weird to think about. All major world super-powers throughout the ages have come and gone in all their glory and splendor - and every one claimed they would be the one to 'make it.' How arrogant we are to think we're so different.
Even if we bank on God being on our side, I don't know if God would appreciate words like that from a country who's moral decline is the highest in the world. Oh, if Jesus doesn't come back before it, I promise you, the United States will fall and be replaced, and we'll be names in history books. It's just the way things work. Nations rise and fall. Maybe we'll go the way of the Romans: get too powerful, too greedy, and the Republic will become an Empire, and our own greed and corruption will lead to our downfall.

When I mean fall, I mean FALL. Fall like Rome - Rome (the great nation) does not exist anymore. The U.S., however, does still exist.
