Just a little provoking. As long as we were to fall all over thanking the Greeks, I thought I'd toss in something we should be thanked for.

America is the only society standing between a world of civiliztion and one of utter chaos.

If we fall, there will be a thousand years of darkness accross the face of the earth.

It puts some perspective to the whole idea of thanking societies.

I totally agree and watch with breath held as our underpinnings are knocked out.

It will be dark, but in my opinion, never again will we see such long dark ages. The information age has made history move faster, and I think there would be a Renaissance of sorts again within a few generations.
