Anyone read the declaration of Independence to understand we can have a different form of govt over the 4th?

Strange times...very 'Romanesque'. We have a senate composed of the 'rich' or pimps for the rich. The 'house', the tribunes of the people, don't seem to be doing much for the people either these days. We don't have 'slaves', but having foreign countries doing the work that Americans should be doing amounts to the same thing. We send 'the legions' all over the world without the means to actually pay them except by debasing the currency....all that borrowed money. We even get a meager amount of 'bread', unemployment payments and welfare, though the GOP/Trashbag party seems to be rethinking that...the party on NO is fast becoming the party of #$%^ 'em! Even our borders are mostly unprotected, and the roads and other physical infrastructure is beginning to look more and more shabby. The romans were famous for their roads and infrastructure...so were we...once! We don't have gladiators duking it out in an arena, but we sure do have a lot of other sports going...bread and circuses for the unemployed. I'm not going to put too fine a point on the above, but as the Roman Republic began to run down after the first 300 years and totally went to hell for most Roman citizens after 500 years and went away, at least in the west after 1,000 years I do see some similar parallels. Of course things moved a lot slower back in the day, maybe it took a little longer way back then then to get an entire civilization into a jam. We could turn this around, but we probably won't...we'll manage to get an overwhelming number of right wing reactionaries elected, who in turn will turn on each other until in the end we'll get an 'Caesar' or a Mussolini and down the road the 'empire' will break up. Lincoln would weep. Something to look forward too, eh?
