US: Ancient Athens rather than ancient Rome?

Duty to Others in an Age of Individuals
An interesting comparison. Normally, you see the current US compared to Rome before the fall. This opinion piece compares us to ancient Athens quite credibly, I think.
The whole thing is worth a read. The author focuses on marriage, but this can easily be extrapolated to duty to others in other areas.
