Subject: Re: article: How a dollar crisis would unfold
I have long thought that the notion of the US losing its dominant role was a little over-hyped.

Why? All empires, without exception, have ended. Some end with a whimper, and some end with massive upheaval, but they all eventually end.

I answer the same way to those who fearfully exclaim that the human race will end in some cataclysm someday. All species end eventually (99.999+% of all species have gone extinct), so why would anyone expect Homo Sapiens to be any different?
