The Way of Rome…

The Roman Empire lasted for roughly 1000 years. It started between 753BC and 625BC, and ending in roughly in 467AD. Rome grew large for many reasons. One strong reason for their growth over those 1000ish years was what they brought with them as they grew. They brought a strong governmental system that allowed everyone to prosper. With this they had a justice system that was well thought out and beneficiary to all parties in that it was fair, and became the foundation for many civilized justice systems. They brought with them, through the “conquering” and acquiring many peoples, many inventions, locks and keys, quick drying cement, many weapons of war far advanced for the time, public toilets, and many other items of use.

Over time they got pretty spread out, they were in more peoples business than they knew how to handle. Their army was spread out over a VERY large amount of land. They were taxing their people pretty hard to build roads, water systems, and to feed the armies. They forced their religion (until the end) on their peoples to an extent as well.

The Roman Empire fell for many reasons. Some of them are:

Now, you may ask why mass migration may cause problems? Masses of people came into their Empire and just plain put such pressure on the Empire that it collapsed.

Now, we come to the United States. In the last 200+ years we have followed the same path. We have put our troops all over the world. We try to put our government system and laws all over the world. We push our religions and politics everywhere. People from all nations and ethnic groups are migrating to this nation looking for homes and success. As they come they bring their cultures and demand that we live by their cultures, just like what happened in Rome. Our economic structure is under major stress and is crumbling. We have MAJOR infighting and disunity within our Nation. We have had bad “Emperors” (on BOTH sides of the party lines!), and no good ones that fully meet the term Good Emperor in the horizon, and we have increased illnesses and issues of health.

So, like many things the US has done over the years, we have done in a bit under 300 years, what it took the Romans to do in over 1000 years. We, as a Nation of Power, are starting to die off. Years ahead of the schedule we should be dieing off if we were to have followed the Roman Empire’s foot steps.

Isn’t it time to sit back and look at what, as a Nation, we are doing to ourselves? Is it time to strategically get out of the lives of other Nations? Shouldn’t we focus on rebuilding our core National structure here in the US, spending our money and efforts here instead of around the World? Let us learn from the Romans, and not repeat what they did, at an accelerated pace! I only can pray that we are not too late already!
