Irreconcilable differences. Conservatives want freedom; liberals want control. There is no way to close this gap. We are hopelessly polarized, a house divided amongst itself. Eventually something’s gotta give.

I don't agree that somethings got to give. It hasn't given since 1865, so why the rush now? As for Conservatives want freedom; liberals want control, most Americans don't give a damn one way or the other. They are completely ambivalent because they don't see much difference between the old boss and the new boss.

So more than likely, secession is coming and in the end we'll have a lot of dead Americans to show for it. And not a whole lot else.

The polls and national election results say otherwise. There is a pretty sharp bifurcation in this country. Essentially the makers vs. the takers. And fundamental demographic and cultural changes are taking place that will further exacerbate things.

At our shocking rate of decline, can you imagine what the country will look like in just three more years? America is broke in more than just the financial sense. Is this the type of environment you want for your children and/or grandchildren?

You’re right. Secession is coming, but it can take several forms and in the future is unlikely to resemble anything like the violent CW split. There are far more sophisticated alternatives and options.

Regards and good luck to all of us.
