I repeat myself:

If FedGov™ collapses then the state will be the governing body. Yes there will still be socialists and conservatives but no anarchy. Your comment sound stupid, naive. Stop listening to anarchists like Melas who preach anarchy and chaos. Those types are FOS.

It is amazing how fast some Freepers forget that everyone of us lives in a semi autonomous functional country(state) and the we’d hardly notice if FedGov™ disappeared. Lincoln did a hell of a job destroying the republic.

Well, some say that our Republic "jumped the shark" with Lincoln. I think he did a lot of damage to it during the Civil War but I don't know if it was a shark jump or not. Some say it happened earlier with President Washington going after the Whiskey Rebels here in Southwest PA. Myself, I think we jumped the shark in increments with Lincoln giving us a big shove, then Woodrow Wilson with the direct election of Senators and the income tax along with the Federal Reserve. Two other jumps were the FDR federal programs and LBJ's "Great Society."

I think where Melas is coming from and I'm not sure if I'm on target all the time is that if there is a Civil War II, it could be a bloody mess and things might not go the way we like. However, sometimes I do see things reaching a breaking point so it still can be forced on us.
