Agreed, see my post #42. This stuff is already happening or has happened. It will take a bit more the get us to breakup.

If the economy tanks big time (depression type stuff, 30% decline in GDP, 25% unemployment), then people will be in a daze and will be in no mood for the sacrifice a revolution will take.

I just do not see it, sorry.

In response to your question at post #42, "why isn't the secessionist movement father along?": lack of leadership. I think a great leader could rally millions.

I can't say whether or not seccession will occur. I hope it doesn't. I'd much rather see sanity restored peacefully. However, I have my doubts as to whether the two dominant political wings are reconcilable. My approach is: pray for the best, prepare for the worst.

An what happened in Germany in the 1930's? They found a solution, alright.

Actually, if it gets that bad, the chances of a revolution sky rocket.

Fat, dumb, and happy people don't mount the barricades. Desperate men with nothing to loose do.
