I have a list of sites that I read daily and whose views I take seriously.
Sic Semper Tyrannis is one of these. The folks who post here are pretty damn smart and pretty damn thoughtful. I will always factor opinions found here into my ponderings.
But I think sometimes that they are folks that are immersed in the past. I have much the same problem myself. The mental model here in the US among both the Hoi Polloi and the erstwhile patriciate is that of a successful empire. That was true for most of my adult lifetime. I don't think that it is true anymore.
I think that all the news and all the sound and fury of late, coming from nearly all directions, is that of a country unwilling to accept the fact that their opinions may not hold sway over the decisions of others.
