A civil war in america will never happen again for one reason...you can't get enough Americans to care about something enough that they would be willing to SACRIFICE for it.

How do you justify this staement? (bear in mind I want you to be right in ths assertion)

Current an past american history would refute your statement.
try the 10% rule if 30 million americans oppose their government and assume 3 million really want to do something about it
and of those 3 million 300,000 are competent to do anything about it well the federal government has some problems. I see signs that the white house knows we have severe problems but are unwilling or unable to take care of them.
Right now the War in Iraq is reducing our Military's ablity to do it's job. Veterans from the Iraq war are showing up in Homeless shelters in increasing numbers. The liberal's are frothing at the mouth that the Republicans have taken so much of their base power away. The Governors race in Washington state is still undecided. Coporate America is about to get it's payback for political support of the current administration. People are still losing jobs as our economy retools for this century. And the current adminstration is turning back the environmental clock. I think people will be getting plenty to get mad about and this summer will prove to be hot and weird as it may sound hot can mean riots. With the new laws of the patirot act well abuse of those laws might be tolerated until it is too late. I hope that this Titor fellow is just a very clever Hoaxer but it would be prudent to have an informed discussion and think through things.
