[lit-ideas] Re: Not in the USA??

Since that event, I have now concluded that they intended
to leave this legacy on the courts and with conservative Republican
dominance with decades to come.  That I think will lead to civil war.
______

A civil war is impossible when one side controls all the territory and 
has all the police, troops, attack helicopters, tanks, tear gas, radio 
and TV stations, and the will to use them. What is possible are "pockets 
of unrest" (cities) and "lawless, vigilante groups" being pacified with 
maximum force and minimum public attention.


On the other hand, I think it would be good if we were able to lighten 
up a bit. A dying woman in Florida, a dying Pope, the death of our hopes 
and dreams for America, the death of the eco-system ... and Spring, 
which seems to be taking forever to arrive.

I wish I were swimming again in the surf off Kauai ... instead I'm 
writing this post looking at the steel-wool sky through a narrow window.

Blek. Hak-patooey!
