Beth, you wicked girl! [1]

The downfall of the US as portrayed in the GZG canon history was discussed at
some length at the end of last year, circa November & December. If memory
serves, it was talked about at some length, and strong (for the time) opinions
were held:

See http://www.warpfish.com/jhan/ft/Archive/ for:

"Questions regarding NAC ground units, was SG IF morale" "[FH] Tedious Royalty
Debate..." "Re: NAC Units, why do we only talk about British units" and
"Nobility.... or not...."

The subject titles alone should encourage the faint of heart to commence
deleting before reading.

[1] But I think you're excused for having other
concerns at the time...

G'day,

> The downfall of the US as portrayed in the GZG canon

I was hoping for a reasoned discussion actually as I don't think the ones of
last year ended up being that helpful. That's why I said if it upsets you
don't join in. I do honestly find it interesting to try and figure what it
would actually take, I'm not trying to stir $%^@. The response I'm getting (so
far) are actually the kind I'm after (much good info!), which is a credit to
you all;)

Thanks

This part I don't think is likely--every politico here beats the drum
for "more money for better education". Not to say the US won't
become non-competitive for other reasons, nor that our education
system is worth a fraction of the money we pour into it.

Even if repairs don't take longer than anticipated, this would be a real,
genuine mess.

No. Everyone knows it's going to happen sooner or later, nothing surprising
about and no reason it should disrupt the political integrity of the country.

I find that quite unlikely too.

Bye for now,

Yup. This has already happened in my opinion.
