"It will take a REVOLUTION of biblical proportions to return to sane, rational thought and common sense behaviour."
When do we start?
Not soon enough I'm afraid. Not till the Mexicans take the southwest, exceptin' Texas, and the country goes through a serious, serious depression. Then we might be able to split off into some Red State/ZBlue State groupings and at least have some sanity in our respective zones. It doesn't seem likely now, but the Soviet Union collapsing didn't seem very likely either, and we aren't nearly as docile as their people had been trained to be.
What we have now is unsustainable.
