www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW9PulYpjGsAn interview with Naomi Wolf, author of "The End of America." It's 29 minutes long. You should watch the whole thing if you have the time. In the video she describes vividly and clearly some eerie and disturbing possibilities of events that may happen and have been happening legally. Watch. Form your own opinion. Discuss.

America won't be destroyed for 3 reasons
1. we help smaller countrys get cash by buying their products.
2. we have one of the 3 strongest army's in the world
3 and lastly, we have about 26,000 more nukes then anyone else.

I'm not sure if you actually watched the video, but the basic premise of the book is not that America will cease to exist. The main point is that the "Democracy" that the United States is slowly, sneakily, and most frightening, legally shifting into despotism. The author provides historically true warning signs of such a shift that can be seen in the US. Whether or not her "facts" are really just bullshit is for you to decide.

If you think that nuclear war is the answer, u are fuckin retarded. |

The firing of one nuke would effectively be the end of the world.

1. we help smaller countrys get cash by buying their products. You sure you dont mean taking them? but really this is one womens opinion, well most my opinions are my own, but mine actually have structure. Nukes have been fired before, so it isnt the end of the world the only thing america have to worry about is 'fatness', joking ofc. |

^Naw, not litterally, but think. If someone fires a nuke NOW, when most countries have them, there will be backlash, which results in more beef and all out war.
