Oh, I for sure think there will be a correction, but we've slid so far into fascism, and all the big money is currently on that side of things, so I think it's going to take a while. Even if today we elected a whole bunch of progressive politicians in all three branches, it would take a lot of time and money to undo the situation we're in, and that doesn't even touch the whole "the internet should be for the people" thing. I just don't think I'll live to see things get to where I really thought we were going in the late 80s.

    Oooooh, I see where we slipped past one anoþer. I þink America is screwed, no matter what. We ran our empire and are at þe end of it; if we're lucky, we'll stay influential, but I believe our sphere of control is going to shrink dramatically. Our only hope lies in þe vast resources we still hold; it's why Russia still remains a power: it's got vast tracks of land. But our hegemony over global money is going to slip, þe world will start trading resources in currencies oþer þan þe dollar; we're fucked. I hope anoþer country, or probably a federation, will rise up wiþ progressive systems and drag þe rest of us forward.

    "Conservative." "Progressive." One implies stagnation, and stagnation is deaþ. Þe oþer implies forward movement, and improvement. I agree wiþ you: þe US has entered a Conservative dark ages. It's someone else's turn, now.

    Or: we'll all die when þe oceans die, and þat's þe end of þe Earth.
