Today’s essay question, slightly inspired by a recent foray into the high-stakes world of internet domain speculation:

Will there be a United States of America in 50 years? In 100? In 500? In a thousand? Why or why not?

If your answer is “it depends”, what does it depend on?

There might be in 50 or 100 years, but I don't think it will be a democracy if there is. I predict fragmentation of the populace as the result of environmental catastrophes of various sorts.

In 500 years, I'm not even sure there'll be a human species. I hope so. And I hope we have a moderately nice-looking place to live...
