I estimate that it could fester for at least another 2 years before it gets to the point where the violence becomes self sustaining. In the US it is normal to state which party you belong to when registering to vote. As a result if it comes time to stand all the Republicans against the wall, the Deomcrats will have a nice list of who they are. On the other hand there is also a trend in the US to settle disputes by means of a contest. I'm sure that you have noticed that some political ones are already settled by the amount of mud the contestants can get to stick to a wall. This sort of contest is now spreading into other forms that are uniquely american. The high tech contest is hacking into voting machine code, where the one who does the best job decides the election. The lower tech one is the liars contest where the speaker must convince the public of a long list of things that aren't true. Most Americans are well aware that a civil war can never really happen. Can you imagine trying to fight a war where each soldier has to say to the one for the other side "Excuse me. I have to shoot you. Would you prefer it in the head or the heart." before he can pull the trigger. This is simply not going to happen, so as a result that can be no such thing as a civil war. Some americans don't seem to take much comfort in this when it is expained to them. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge
