I doubte that will mean much against millitary force. Ink on paper only means as much as people want it to mean. It probably won't mean much compared to the fear of death.

Assuming he was talking about a coupe backed by the millitary.

Everyone just ignore that. I feel cranky today.

I don't see anything wrong; same as it's ever been. And everyone knew there was going to be something along the lines of civil war, that's why they specifically forbid even bringing the topic up within the first 20 years after the Constitution was put into place.

With regard to republicans: OMFG TEH BIG GAY ALEPHANT!111

Regard to subject: Doesn't bother me in the slightest. :s

Now the Bush family's ties to the Bin Laden's is well known by now. Did you know about the Bush family ties to Hitler? George W. Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush, had his stocks in Nazi steel manufacturing removed by Congress in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act.

Nothing wrong with that. No one knew what Hitler was up to at that point. He took power completely legally, and turned Germany round into a successful nation. I'd want stocks in his steel too.

Nazi!

some of us will catch it on TV
with chicken hanging from our mouths
you'll know it's revolution

I've been of this school of thought for some time now.

We want revolution,
Constant evolution,
Start your engines, blow your fuses, burn the bridges to the future,
This is our solution...
We want revolution.

I think that our dependance of foreign labor for basic manufacturing really hurts our ability to reconstruct if a country such as China decides to stop trade. We are too much of a service industry, and inexperience with manufacturing will be very detrimental if there are needs for warehouses to manufacture war goods.

I'm not saying that the US government will fall anytime soon, but over time, we shall become more of a self-dependent nation, while also holding calm foreign relations. Otherwise, the US will eventually lose power, and another country will become in the limelight. I'm just curious if when power does weaken (it's inevitable), whether the country will remain unified or split up.
