Republic vs. Empire

Tom Brosz — 10/20/2002 4:56:35 PM (archived)

Jerry Pournelle addresses this many times on his website, particularly here. He is not optimistic about returning to a pure Republic, although he wishes we could. Such a return would probably also require considerable decentralizing of domestic government power in America, which given our current politics, will happen when hell freezes over.

This site is worth following on a regular basis, particularly on this subject.
