   "Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra? Quam diu etiam furor iste tuus nos eludet? Quem ad finem sese effrenata iactabit audacia?"

   — Marcus Tullius Cicero,
   In Catilinam I - Against Catilina, Speech One (63 B.C)

   "When, O Catiline, do you mean to cease abusing our patience? How long is that madness of yours still to mock us? When is there to be an end of that unbridled audacity of yours, swaggering about as it does now?"

   ...

   How soon will the US fall as Rome did?
