I think Nero will make a great new Emperor for Rome. He is emotionally stable and fiscally responsible!

As for the titanic analogy... Nobody saw the iceberg coming until it was too late. Even then the iron hull should have protected it but because of a flaw in forging it was cut like butter.

I like the think of the USA as slice of bacon. It only gets better as it gets crispier. Then it just turns into dust. But out of that you get bacon salt!

 

 Bacon salt would really irritate cuts and graises.

It also makes for a great bacon sammich. Mmm sammich. But what I was getting at was a phoenix scenario. New countries are made by the ashes of the fallen. Bacon salt = flavoring of new food (new countries)
