Ya really wanna 'End the Empire'? Keep having wars in the Middle East.

[Taverner]

It's killed every 'Empire' before it

Alexander the Great

USSR

The English Crown

The Dutch East India Company

and it will kill us

We need to get out of both - or the American life that we still have today - that life that includes the spare change to have a police force or fire department, will be gone

Sometimes 'Winning' is not as important as 'Surviving'

1. Yeah, but..., but..., but..., We're the Greatest Country in the World.

We can't loose. :sarcasm:

[Taverner]

2. I know - that is such the argument from some of these pro-death folks

[SlingBlade]

3. End The Empire ?

Thats dangerous talk my friend. Remember, They are STILL watching.

And Obama doesn't have the fucking guts to do a fucking thing about it.
Que up the next Neo-Con Administration whilst the ConservaDems keep their
seats warm for 'em. That's Empire my friend, In your face Empire.

[Taverner]

6. Look - I'm not saying I want to 'End the Empire' per se

Make it warm and fuzzy, yes.

Use it to invest in itself, yes.

Stop being such assholes, yes.

But what I'm saying is that waging two wars in the Mideast (remember, Iraq's not over, and still costing us tons) will continue bankrupting this country

8. O.K . But Watch It from here on out.

MmmKay !

4. Maybe there is a god, after all....

Laughing her ass off, too, betcha.

5. The rulers of the empire couldn't care less

Our corporate masters don't really need a united states empire to function for them to maintain their control over most of the world anymore.
