Civil War, WWII and now have something in common...all three included a president going out of office to leave someone else to deal with civil unrest. I don't know much about WWI--does it fit the pattern?
I think if we (or someone better prepared) don't figure out how to short circuit the process, we may very well be headed toward a terrible situation. A Revolution would be fine with me..to a point..but a Revolution would also be another CivWar and I really don't think we'd be in better shape when the handful of Power/Money folks get the rest of the Money/Power.
In a battle between rich and poor, who would come out ahead?

I'd like to see the 'hate crime' label changed to "antagonism" It's a clearer definition. Psychologically, hatred is probably a close cousin to anger..which is presumably a natural feeling. Being mad (whether reasonably or not) is different from picking fights..isn't it?

Internet sounds like a good fl to me. It crosses the spectrum better than any religious group can and keeps all of us from having to travel around eating casseroles at hundreds of community gatherings where the audience would be people who were already sold on the idea of Getting Along. Teens would be a good market for fl.com to influence--their mindset is more flexible by nature than adults and they're ready to get out there and change the world.

Bobert, I think nearly every community strongly distrusts anything having to do with gov't and/or laws. I wonder how long it will be before we get sense enough to try voting in a commoner as president. I'm willing to bet that it won't happen because a normal/average person wouldn't get nominated and backed.

Do you think fl.com would be allowed to flourish if it started making a noticeable difference? We're easier to Control as long as we stay divided.
