me shakes head more Nazi Homeland SS stuff. When will the stupidity stop? This is _not_ the answer.
Shtop?? It vill not shtop! Not for a zousand years! <heel click>
Seriously, we have seen the end of the US we grew up in. Democracy died in 2004, and the Constitution was already in a hospice by then.
Balkanization is the only possible hope - for SOME regions maybe - but what are the chances?
thank jebus, the republic of california will have suceeded from the union by then.
In the 1980's, capitalism destroyed communism. In the 1990's, it did the same to democracy.
Where do you get 2004? The partisan BullS*** that passes for politics these days is _REALLY_ getting old. Kerry LOST guys. Those of us who started as Americans are still Americans. If you can't weather a president you disagree with, you need some perspective and maturity. Eight years just isn't that long. Think what people had to put up with under FDR, he replaced 8/9 of the supreme court. (If he hadn't, the new deal would have been ruled unconstitutional.)
If you enjoy speculative fiction, Heinlein's story "Friday" extrapolates what the Democratic Republic of California might be like. I thought the political satire was on target.
