[QUOTE="August, post: 9350, member: 138"] [b]2015 in Retrospect: Where Will You Be Politically?[/b] Cary you said, And I think imagining these scenarios is really a difficult task. When I first read the Titor posts I immediately sided with his way of thinking. But I am more a big fan of mid-19th century America than I am a revolutionary. This is probably the reason his posts appealed to me. And when I actually think about possible scenarios in my own life, my decisions are made sometimes by reason and sometimes by emotion. Multiply this by the 30,000 families in my little suburb. And all sorts of things can happen. And my experience of the soccer moms and others like them is this: they will cut you off at the knees before parting with their material status in the community. I don't think they are the revolutionary type. I think the fictional Titor war is a fascinating study precisely because of these different motivations. There are possibly four groups to consider in three zones: 1. Inner city people who must stay 2. Suburb people who choose to stay and protect their two car garage, giving up the constitution. 3. Suburb people who choose to flee to rural areas and live free. 4. Rural people who necessarily stay where they are. Zone A: Cities Zone B: Suburbs Zone C: Rural Areas Now of course this is a simplification. Someone on Manhattan's upper west side can do whatever they please war or no war. So the model has exceptions. And with this model you can see where the real ugliness will be. The cities will be locked down prisons. The rural areas will be the land of the hear and there skirmish. But the suburbs will be true hell when those two groups decide who they are. Snortlechops, Glad you stayed to post. I suspect you know the validity of my response to your first post in this forum. The internet desperately tries to establish ettiquet whenever it can. Here we need other rules of engagement methinks. Showing up here and immediately telling us that our country is heading to civil war is like playing bridge for the first time with a set of elderly women and the first thing you say is, "boy this is a great game to play when you are weak boned, old, and don't get out much." Take some time to read all our other threads. We have been playing bridge for a while. [/QUOTE]
