Thought of the Day

Imag­ine that you lived in the ancient Roman Empire twenty years before it col­lapsed, and you knew that it was com­ing. You pre­dicted bar­bar­ian inva­sions, anar­chy across the con­ti­nent, and ensu­ing vio­lence for the fore­see­able future.

Some­times that’s how I feel when I think about the United States and Europe.
