Ärende: How the US will split
=============================
Hello Ross,

On Sunday March 15 2009 19:58, you wrote to me:

Never say never...

 RC>>> Besides we are not going to change the constitution to suit a
 RC>>> bunch of Euro's or otherwise.

 MvdV>> Of course you won't. Not as long as it is you (the US) who has
 MvdV>> the right of might.

 RC> No the US has a right to self-govern itself, my right to bear arms has

That is where I disagree. That attitude of yours that violence is the ultimate
solution to all problems is spilling over to the rest of the world. It is
poisoning the minds of our young people who watch your movies and televison
series.

Anyway the attitude of "we have a right to self govern and fuck the rest" is
only affordable to those who can exert the right of might. In the real world
countries have to make compromises to live in peace with their neighbours.
Nobody lives on an island any more. although some still seem to think so.

And remember, the right of might is never forever.

 MvdV>> But what may be the unthinkable for you has happened many times
 MvdV>> over in Europe. Nations are not forever and empires come and
 MvdV>> go. To you it may be unthinkable that the US will ever fall
 MvdV>> apart, to us it is not so an unplausible scenario.

 RC> and notice how everything you mentioned can have its roots traced to
 RC> the royalty you people used to worship?

Bullshit. The most notable changes in the last decades were the reunification
of Germany and the desintegration of the Soviet Union. Both have discarded
royalty about a century ago.

Then there is the desintegration of Yogoslavia. No royalty involved either.

 RC> Your maps changed because Kingdoms fell after the people got tired of
 RC> being oppressed by those whom possessed a genetic right to rule.

Once again: utter bullshit.

 RC> Once you took the power away from the throne, your borders solidified.

The Sovjet Union fell overnight because the presidents of Russia, Belarus and
Ukraine decided so.

Don't make the classic mistake of thinking "it can never happen here."


Cheers, Michiel
