| Terri: | America zzz alive! Why duh requiem? |
| Tim: | Kuz in many ways it's dieing. |
| Kris: | The empire has reached its zenith. Militarily it's unmatched & it enjoys much of the world's wealth. |
| Chris: | The shape of the average American belly is a good metaphor for the nation as a whole: there's a lot of overstretch and lard. Consumption is out of balance with production. And in the long run, that's unsustainable. |
| Tim: | There is a physics to the rise and fall of nations. At this point in time America is on the way down. Some of its concepts were noble, but in many ways civilizations are too short-sighted. |
