I do not see it as collapse. I see it as a lot of people demanding their governments get out of the way of day to day living. Will governments get the message?

An aspiring cop-killer got gunned down in return fire.

Then people rioted about it.

Not seeing the connect.

I agree that what we see in the UK is just thugs who like free stuff (and probably want the government to hand out more free stuff than it already does).

That being said, if the American people ever rise up and tell our government "Enough!" what will it look like?
Of course, voting for Tea Party candidates is the best way to say "Enough!"

But what if Obama does somethign drastic and ignores congress, the courts, and the people. How do you say "Enough" then?
Once upon a time the government oppressors wore nice red uniforms and would march through the town square. Patriots recognized the problem back then. Today, it's hard to know how to fight the government if the ballot box is insufficient.

I don't think burning American cities to tell the government "Leave me alone" is a good idea -- but I'm not sure what form is appropriate to send that emphatic message, if voting proves insufficient.

Neither am I Laz. Something else is probably afoot.
