Ever wonder what North America would be like after the Empire collapses? Pete Edler obviously has given this some thought. Drawing historical lessons from the collapse of the Soviet Union, he envisions a time that will be exciting, creative, and dangerous -- a time when our actions will have greater meaning, but when we will have to be awake to the changes that are taking place.
Or, as Benjamin Franklin said to the woman who asked him what the Constitutional Convention made, "A Republic, if you can keep it."

In the long run, we'll be better off, but there will be a lot of pain in the short run.
America has made all the same mistakes that every other western Empire made: financialization of the economy, military overextension, massive debt.
We failed to learn from history, and thought that somehow we were different and would not suffer the same result.
