New Mad Cow scare in US announced today
When stopping to give the big picture some serious thought... just how would a 'civil war' be started here in America? I believe, for starters, we need to rule out the images we get in our mind when we think of 'civil war'. I have stated elsewhere on the board that I don't think civil war will be started with a couple sides just tossin' lead around. I think the civil war has already started with our civil liberties being stripped away from us. To keep our minds narrow will result in something arriving at our front door without warning. People will grow progressivlely more tired of it all, until they finally pop.
Now Timmy G, exactly how are these people going to pop? That's a good question. I have to stop and think of the Los Angeles riots from a number of years ago. Remember that? What if riots on that scale and magnitude or even greater happened all over the country? Surely something, someday - will get people really really miffed off.
Take a whole bunch of city roits and thats all you need. Then the small towns will start rioting just because. There are far many more Americans getting fed up than there are people with badges to stop 'em.
....someday - the crap will indeed hit the fan.
I dunno about you guys but I find it kinda hard to see a civil war in the United States.
