Now THAT, is a possibility imo.

Our nation is divided on many issues. Which one will be the lightning rod?

I agree that our nation is divided on many issues. I do posit however that a careful reader of history will see that it has always been thus. I simply don't see a degree of civil unrest or disgruntlement that might credibly lead to civil war. I remember how the Occupy protests melted away to nothing.

I would be more worried about civil war in the instance of serious trouble. These aren't predictions but situations I consider possible: an economic collapse once the fiscal house of cards delaying admission of inflation blows up ... a loss of arable and inhabited terrain if global climate change is as serious as some say ... and the possibility of our being drawn into an international conflict of size and severity. The current maybes for such a scenario are China and Iran, but that is very much a "moving target". Random musings here. cn

Hard to say what will be the lightning rod. But the more I read about Wisconsin-State-Fair-Beat-Whitey-Night" beatdowns, the more I think I AM THE LIGHTNING ROD.

What an intelligent answer. Your great-grandchildren will however, be subjected to execution because they are not in line with Islam.

Thank you McRancid! Glad to see the holiday finds you in cheerful spirits!

And how do you know me and my future-grandkids aren't muslims?

I'm coming for your Bibles and your women. Soon.

i agree we have always been divided but i also feel that several of your scenarios are real possibilities if not probabilities.

IMO, as a mathematics enthusiast who has made a living off math, the financial situation is a matter of limited time.

i TRULY believe it will be the lightning rod.

Hungry people do crazy shit.

I don't want civil war, but I also don't want degenerates running this country. Let's face it, this young generation in their 20's will take this country to the depths of hell in one decade and we will ALL look like fucking citizens of Juárez, Mexico

Mexico has universal healthcare.

Juarez would be a lot safer if America ended the drug war. I feel safer here than I did in the US.

i agree, i don't want war, there ain't nothing "civil" about it. If one thinks otherwise, hope they don't meet me in a battle situation.

i see it as an inevitability for math/financial reasons couple with the various factions of our country that are NOT happy.

i pray i'm wrong but math and history don't lie.

I speak common sense. And for the record, I never have claimed a religious identity. Funny that you immediately thought I was someone I am actually not.

I will say this: that sentiment is as old as the nation, and older in other places. So far, however, as each generation has grown into the reins, it has risen to the challenge of governance. The real trick (imo!) is discerning between the usual ferment of change (with its rough treatment of tradition) and actual decadence. Trouble is, much as i want to be an optimist ... or at least avoid descending into cynicism ... I do see signs of real serious decadence in the developed world. I do hope I am wrong. I fear that I am not. cn
