The coming civil war in the new world
USA
Lord knows I hope it doesn't happen.
After all, many in the USA believe
in our Constitution and the rule of law.
Apparently, many USA citizens and
the present federal leadership's hired minions don't.
Now this is an idea worth fighting
about. What a shame if this even
happens. Even today I started clearing fields of fire, a military term that
might help me if times get hard, like having a better aim at local scoundrels who
try steal my growing food in the garden. After all, I've got to eat, too.
What set me off was a "ruling", edict if you will, by the federal executive apparently usurping the legislative authority of our congress. While I personally agree with much of the "ruling", I also agree with the sole power of the congress to legislate laws, albeit with a veto power of the executve as written in our Constitution. Now the federal executve got away with this in Libya, but maybe not this time.

What's a shame is twofold, to me.
One, and most important, is our
Congress is a big deal, like should be paid attention too. The Constitution
says so, plus this is a normal way for
people to express their vote and preference in going forward. I suspect most people would rather be voting citizens than loyal subjects. Said another way, I suspect most people want to decide their own future vice some dictator or king.
Second is "this is the new
world America", like the old world is "passe" here. Hence any
group who aspires to ruling the USA without paying attention to the
Constitution and the rule of law will set me off to something like a civil war.
We have a better deal, now lasting over 200 years. The alternative, to me, is
the old world.
So what do we do?
I would suggest vote, and let things
sort out.
In the meantime, I will finish my
field of fire labor, and work towards my hydro electric plant "tune
up", which is basically just trying to figure out how to maximize what is
here.
So no civil war here, I sure hope.
