some facts, none that show USA is an empire. Alot of opinion and conjucture.
I have a ratified Constitution. The only ratified Constitution. Afraid you will have to be a little more specific for your empire. Say, you prove this 'empire' theory, that has nothing to do with the foundations of our government. What does it change? The Constitution is here and usable. And it's about time The People started knowing what they are being screwed out of. Many their lives. Yep, even potheads have snuffed themselves in jails. There is much suffering and death being heaped on The People. Let's sit around and get sidetracked over "i wanna call it an empire". The People can call it what they want. But, they need to start calling it something and soon. Most of The People HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS GOV WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. Why don't you assist in informing The People of Rights they don't have clue about? Or, continue on a diatribe of empire, cause I got things to do.

My best to you and yours,

Ed
