Tyrannical on 15 December 2009
I think a genetic apocalypse is most likely. With stupid people out breeding smart people to such an extent that the average IQ of the world falls to the level where we simply do not have enough intelligent people to run a modern society.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
— Pat Buchanan – A Republic, Not an Empire
