  • They don't do it directly, no, they just invade other countries and hand them over to American corporations in the form of no-bid contracts. The difference between America and Rome is that only a portion of America's ruling elite are in the government.

  • @vroom2000 Von Rumpuy isn't it?

  • Indeed, it seems we have chosen the wrong president ... more 'that last thing we should look forward to' (the way the media's going, I'll be able to say 'it' by the time I'm old enough to run) with a vote for Hubbard in the `20 election!

  • Political influence isnt the only factor in becoming an empire.Hong Kong & many Asian cities were part of European empires during the1800's.These Spheres of Influence had little to no political intervention but the foreign countries controlled them economically/culturally in varying degrees.Empire think Emporer and/or Imperialsm.USA's govt is based heavily on philosophe Voltaire's .govt idea which plans little to nothing of citizens participation in govt & govt not 2 parties.That explains alot..

  • @221b Can't wait till your country is democratically annexed. =)

  • @221b that and the fact that compared to the standings of the upper class back in rome 60-75% of us would be upper class

  • @WhiteTheTruth Confucius say: Ho! Death to round eye!

    Seriously, your comment is quite, quite indicative of ignorance, my bipolar friend.

    However, to give your famished brain some food for thought en par with your dumpster-diving reasoning skills;

    911

    Yep....everyone is afraid of you gluttonous morons.

    Good luck with your apocalypse.
