it's human ecology or evolution or whatever. humans have spent the last five thousand years or so coalescing into ever larger groups, then collapsing while another large group emerges...think of egypt, persians, greece, romans, nazi germany, and on & on. it's inevitable. not that it's good or bad.
that pattern that lasted and existed for aeons does not speak well of our current empire of which we are the main worker bees.
with 7 billion people on the Globe, and about 2 billion going to bed hungry ever night, no tellin' what tommorrow might bring.
