Sentiment: POSITIVE
You know, when I was a girl, the idea that the British Empire could ever end was absolutely inconceivable. And it just disappeared, like all the other empires.
Great Britain has lost an empire and has not yet found a role.
America is an empire. I hope you know that now. All empires, by definition, are bumbling, shambolic, bullying, bureaucratic affairs, as certain of the rightness of their cause in infancy, as they are corrupted by power in their dotage.
Empires will come and go. The Soviet Union collapses; China can become a superpower, but 'Blue Peter' stays the same.
When I was a girl, the idea that the British Empire could ever end was absolutely inconceivable. And it just disappeared, like all the other empires. You know, when people talk about the British Empire, they always forget that all the European countries had empires.
All empires come to an end, and the American one is no exception.
Look to the past and remember no empire rises that sooner or later won't fall.
Every empire eventually falls.
The United States should stop being the 'empire' and be concerned about other countries. You've got to be more worried about your own people.
