Who’s going to come out as the new Empire? I think that the answer will not be a country but rather a culture.
Thinking outside the box, the reason the ole USofA has been so powerful is not that we’re a country so much as an engine (or culture) of change. We’ve exhausted our energies with abstracts lately and are now sputtering. Do you think that a mere country is going to move into the vacuum that we’ve created? Not likely! Too many countries hitched their wagons to our star and are now as bad off (if not worse) than we, the USofA are.
The survivor in this collapse will be the people who recognize that their labor, not pieces of paper nor bits in an clearinghouse computer, comprise their worth. We’re now discovering that we’ve conned billions of people out of their lives’ breath for promises never to be kept. Money is trust and the trust has been breached by the continual dilution of said trust.

OMAHA — The abandonments began on Sept. 1, when a mother left her 14-year-old son in a police station here. By Sept. 23, two more boys and one girl, ages 11 to 14, had been abandoned in hospitals in Omaha and Lincoln. Then a 15-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl were left.
The biggest shock to public officials came last week, when a single father walked into an Omaha hospital and surrendered nine of his 10 children, ages 1 to 17, saying that his wife had died and he could no longer cope with the burden of raising them.
In total last month, 15 older children in Nebraska were dropped off by a beleaguered parent or custodial aunt or grandmother who said the children were unmanageable.
Officials have called the abandonments a misuse of a new law that was mainly intended to prevent so-called Dumpster babies — the abandonment of newborns by young, terrified mothers — but instead has been used to hand off out-of-control teenagers or, in the case of the father of 10, to escape financial and personal despair.
The spate of abandonments has prompted an outcry about parental irresponsibility and pledges to change the state law, which allows care givers to drop off children without fear of prosecution. But it has also cast a spotlight on the hidden extent of family turmoil in the country and what many experts say is a shortage of respite care, counseling and especially psychiatric services to help parents in dire need.
Some who work with troubled children add that economic conditions, like stagnant low-end wages and the epidemic of foreclosures, may make the situation worse, adding layers of worry and conflict…..
