the fall of empire

reading a book on the fall of the roman empire and came across these nuggets:
"the eternal city was filled with the comings and goings of impotent men - senators, magistrates, bustling administrators of all kinds - performing meaningless duties. Augustus, while seizing all power, had wisely left in place all the trappings of democracy. The empty show that resulted only emphasized the more the importance of HOW things were done - since no one wanted to avert to the vanity of WHAT was being done"
words ringing true in todays world of corporate rule of our legislature, supreme court nad executive branches of government.
At this point anyone paying attention has to acknowledge that the democrats and republicans are the SAME! There is NO DIFFERENCE between the parties when it comes to the bankrupting of our nation and the continuance of endless war and EMPIRE.
The lessons from the Fall Of the Roman Empire has gone unheeded.
VOTE DONATE AND VOLUNTEER with the GREEN PARTY!
and remember One Person can't make up a GREEN chapter but it only takes ONE PERSON to start a GREEN chapter.
Democracy is a contact sport.......GET INVOLVED!
or let the corporate powers that be decide YOUR FUTURE!
the choice is yours - whether you make it or not.
