I'm heading to Idaho if they pull the plug. I've always wanted to do more elk hunting.

If we had a civil war I'd expect mass terrorist attacks and UN peace keepers in our country. Those are a pretty much promised outcome. I don't believe we are at the stage to have to suffer through death and war to bring our country back. That's just me though. There have been several modern secessions that were relatively bloodless. Take a look at all the territory the British gave up post WW II, look at eastern Europe..... The uprising in the Ukraine is going awesome. The troubles in Ireland seemed like a swell time aswell. |

This is no longer really a north vs. south thing. Some states are more consolidated than others, but pretty much any major city will have a majority of voters go democrat, regardless of state. This basically ensures that an actual fractured national identity wouldn't be solvable with a simple line of demarcation. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Secession is the answer. This time WV defects south. This is no longer really a north vs. south thing. Some states are more consolidated than others, but pretty much any major city will have a majority of voters go democrat, regardless of state. This basically ensures that an actual fractured national identity wouldn't be solvable with a simple line of demarcation. This is true. I've lived in five states for some good chunks of time. It's amazing how diverse the populations are in the different locales, even sometimes from neighboring city to city. This was the beauty of the System as Originally intended. The Fed is strictly limited and the States were to choose their own destiny and how they ran things themselves. The States were the experiments, not the USA. |

America is in a civil war, a Cold War but a war just the same View Quote You know, I've been a student of history....and any officer in the Army can tell you about the "big blue book" (required Military History text)....but truth be told, I'm not exactly sure how long the "build up" or Cold War existed before the first actual shots were fired in the Civil War. Interesting. I'd be curious to know. |

If we set aside our usual differences (what can be put into something named 'chili' and what meat to make 'bbq' out of), our two states are inseparably tied together through history and kindred souls. Damned Arkansas for standing between us. ![]() |

No, a lot of the support is from people who have the same intellectual quotient as people who supported "hope and change" Trump is a huckster and a liar. I really don't care however because he's exposing the establishment players and it really doesn't matter who is sitting in the "Captains chair" of the Titanic. A king or court Jester.....the ship is going down. |

This is an interesting thread. And for all the guys down south, don't think that just because a person is from a northern state means that he backs the status quo. The lines of division would be very different this time around, I think.

Secession is the answer. View Quote Naw, man - Virtual States are the answer. ![]() Everyone still shares the same physical territory, but is only subject to the laws which agree with his/her particular beliefs. If you hold liberal beliefs, you get taxed for just about everything - socialized medicine, welfare, environmental and economic justice, free college education, etc., etc. If you hold conservative beliefs, you get taxed for paving our roads and defending our borders - and not much of anything else. If you hold liberal beliefs, uttering hate-speech or shooting a home invader results in felony prison time. If you hold conservative beliefs, exercising your 1st or 2nd amendment rights is merely a cause for celebration. If you hold liberal beliefs, your credit card gets billed $9 for a Quarter-Pounder With Cheese, because that's what it costs when you include a "fair working wage" for every McDonald's employee who touches your burger. If you hold conservative beliefs, your credit card gets billed $3.95 for a Quarter-Pounder With Cheese, because that's what it costs when every McDonald's employee is discouraged from regarding their job as anything other than a stepping stone to a higher-paying job. The idea of forging governmental consensus - and forcing every citizen to comply with that consensus - is a throwback to the days when we had no practical means to accommodate dissenting beliefs. Technology is changing all of that. ![]() |

Even the two states that make the difference (Fla, Ohio) are split ![]() View Quote That's sort of like saying the participants in a mugging are split. No shit. Of course they are. Why should we care? The issues here are pretty simple. We work, and we have shit. The opposition's leadership wants to make a job out of promising varying amounts of our shit - taken by threat of violence - to their voters, who in turn want to not work or treat work as optional, but still have all the shit we have. The amount of shit they want to take is becoming increasingly intolerable. No lasting peace can come from that. All this talk about countrymen being vicious to each other - fuck that, a lot of these people aren't my "countrymen". |
