Educate, and motivate the real majority that has become so disillusioned that they no longer care.

Fine with me. I'm on your side in such efforts. I just really doubt they will work, and in fact suspect the trend of history is moving in the opposite direction. At best any such effort will be a long processs, and conducted in the face of direct resistance by the segments of our society best suited to "education and motivation," the media and education monopoly.

Tyranny is the default position of human society, once past the hunter-gatherer stage. Historically, freedom has been fragile and short-lived wherever and whenever it has existed. I see no particular evidence we've outgrown those tendencies.

I believe you are right, but I hope and strive against what I fear is coming. I am pretty sure it won't happen the same way it did in 1860, with states taking sides. If this tragedy happens it will be a free-for-all with the small cities, towns and farmlands against the large cities and metropolitan area's. There will be no front lines. I cannot fathom / predict what will start it. But I see all the signs; a polarized society.
