I vote for a bloodless divorce into two countries. We are split just about half and half between those who want a constitutional Republic with individual rights and those who want a socialist democracy with collective rights. Each side is totally miserable with the ideals and visions of the other.
Enough of the pain and suffering and constant fighting. I no more enjoy seeing the socialists outraged when they lose than I enjoy seeing Americans for freedom outraged when they lose. We have turned into a stupid and raging nothingness and that will never change as we no longer hold a common vision and ideology in this country anymore.
If we can split peacefully and intellegently, both Nations would stand a chance to survive. As it is now, we are as bankrupt in the treasury as we are in culture and society. In addition the US has become too large to govern with a central government as it currently stands.
This is one of the most insightful comments I have seen in a long time. A country cannot survive with two completely opposite visions of what the country is: not when those visions are held with such passion, and by such large numbers. Your idea of a mutual agreed upon, bloodless divorce, is something well worth pursuing.
That sounds about where we are probably ending up because america is a house divided. It not stand the pressure of what will come as a broken nation.
