"The Roman Republic fell for many reasons, but three reasons are worth remembering: declining moral values and political civility at home, an overconfident and overextended military in foreign lands, and fiscal irresponsibility by the central government."

I want everyone to think for second.
I want everyone to consider how their life will change very soon.
The system is consuming itself.
It is becoming visible to even the blindest sheep.
This is not a new reality television show.
The Troubles are coming back to us and our land.
The reset button will slam down like a thunder clap.
The road to Mt. Doom is long,
and the Ring is heavy.
Not all of us are going to make it.

Having just finished Guns, Germs and Steel, and currently re-reading The Story of B, I have my share of doom and gloom on a global scale. Maybe that's why I've slacked in my Urban reading as of late... well, that and a lack of internet connection at home. I really must do something about that...
