US Civil War in 2010

Well.  The predicted killer earthquake never happened. I even gave it the 5 day window and we're all still here without even a shudder. I guess that confirms that the Web bot is so much crap when it comes to things like natural disasters at least. Maybe other things that originate with man...but natural disasters predicted because the combined subconscious anxiety of humanity as a whole has predicted such a thing?  yeah, I don't hardly think so. 

Now here is a new prediction. This Russian guy says that within 18 months the United States will go the way of feathered hair and leg-warmers. By July of 2010 the US will have slipped into such a state of economic despair that we'll turn on each other in a massive civil war. He said that people used to laugh when the fall of the Soviet Union was predicted. Then it happened. But the thing he doesn't account for is that the Soviet Union was a confederation of countries that still had a national identity that was non-soviet. It was ripe for the picking. I'd like to think that Americans, regardless of the state they live in take a little more pride in being Americans. 

After the September 11th attacks, when our country was in a very fragile state, Americans didn't turn on each other, but rallied together. I still remember seeing people waiving flags from Interstate overpasses and hearing commuters honk in support. We're a different breed and I find it very difficult to accept the idea that we would be so quick to dissolve into civil war. Here is the link from the Wall Street Journal

I was right about Franken, let's hope I'm right about this as well...and by the way. Franken, WHAT THE HECK?!?  There was actually a ballot clearly marked for the republican candidate...no doubt at all about it and they awarded the vote to Franken!  Way to steal an election you cheating liberal SOB's!!!!
