Tom- I've always wanted to visit this: "In Morocco once, we visited the ruins of Volubilis, a Roman-Berber village on the edge of the empire." To me ruins of an ancient civilization tells me a lot about what they value and what they don't. The practice of safekeeping and memento isn't really valuable unless it's done in such a way that it'll last even ourselves, in my opinion. And when it does surpass the life of the humans--it means that it's done exactly what it's meant to do: perpetuate the very humans it used to (and will continue to) gives voice to.
USA is the best country and structure in world for humanity and liberty. No ifs, ands, butts about it.......unfortunately, I only give us a few more years, so let's say an over/under of March 17, 2057.

Volubilis is a fascinating place. A remnant of the past. What will be our own ruins?

Mark your calendars!
On that bet, I'll take the over. Of course, that bodes ill for us because I'm a lousy bettor.
Hahah! Throw in the toga! 😜
Great poem!
Thanks, Nanako!
