@Fred_Snerd That was kind of my point. Maybe we were not as big a group percentage wise as it seemed. Again, media manipulation. The hippies got tons of time on the news, but the majority were still building up their resumes and getting MBA's.

The good thing is I guess that the primarily Muslim countries are overpopulated and constantly at war with themselves or others, which helps keep their overall populations somewhat steady. In the case of African Muslims, their overpopulation is also kept in check by famine and disease. Mother nature is quite capricious that way.

@JeffMurray as happened in the last Civil War, the military will divide. A large percentage of the military is non white, they will not be prone to take up arms against their own people for a obviously racist leader. At least a significant portion of the officers will stand with their oath to defend the Constitution and not join the white nationalists attacking the government. Some are already distancing themselves from the Trumplicans.
But regardless, the weapons in the hands of everyone today will cause much more death and destruction than the last time when soldiers were still mostly using single fire barrel loaders, not high capacity semi automatic weapons. That is what will make it far worse, even if it is a short lived and localized rebellion.

The idea that we are a free country is somewhat of an advertising fantasy. For reference I recommend watching a variety of documentaries. Here is a starter list if you can stream them over there. “Steal This Movie” is an older one about Abbie Hoffman and the anti Vietmam protests. Just this week I watched on PBS.org “The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution” (https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/videos/the-black-panthers-vanguard-of-the-revolution-full-film/) and “I am not your Negro” (https://www.pbs.org/video/i-am-not-your-negro-future-negro-clip-uppanz/) to see what happens to those whose freedom is not free. Also, the entire Ken Burns documentary on the Vietnam years (ten hours, but worth it!) shows how trying to go against the power system is treated. It in many ways reflects some of our current conditions. (https://www.pbs.org/show/vietnam-war/)

For most cops (and this applies to so many other organizations, if not human groups of any kind), it’s easier to just find another career or another police force than to break out against a fellow officer. It is the same in the military or prison guards, , as far as results: bad leaders create innocent dead bodies. But standing up can also get you killed.

Not related to the original topic here, but I do believe we need to be able to separate personal foibles and failures from talent and accomplishments. Many of the greatest people in the history of humanity had horror, or less than stellar personal histories. Be it political giants such as George Washington or many of the other singers of the Constitution and later presidents. Or more modern heroes from John Kennedy to Martin Luther King. Even more so, this applies to the entertainment industry. What they were doing in their personal life, short of murder, should not diminish their body of work or their inimitable talent, their true legacy should never be erased, but their failures as people certainly need to be brought to light and acknowledged.

This is quite obvious if you read any documentary on civilian life in war. The people cheer for whichever side happens to control their village, until it changes hands, then they welcome those troops in the hopes of not being slaughtered.

Careful now. Fifty percent of American scientists believe in a higher power. Do you really mean to describe Sir Isaac Newton as “nuts”?
Barnie2years replies on May 10, 2020:
@WilliamFleming at the time a Newton was living, much of science was n it’s infancy, religion was at its apex. There was little to disprove religion, much to encourage you to at least force you to say you believed (blasphemy laws). Few of those excuses exist in the modern world, at least in the West and non Muslim countries.

I've not heard of that movie but the song makes me want to see if I can find it somewhere. Would anyone know how old Liz was in that movie?

I would like to know how people are always saying "if you have any problems, write your senator"...how many of you have wrote your senator that they are the problem and has anyone gotten a response? LOL
