For those too young to remember, there was riots in many of the major cities with casualties. Here in Ohio was Kent State and later at a college [name escapes me] in Mississippi where there was major violence. I live in a Progressive County, get outside the major city and it is rural and conservative. The majority of liberals that I worked with don't know how to use a firearm, much less pick one up. Law enforcement is conservative so that is a plus here. I hope America can iron our differences out, but I am beginning to wonder.

if America ever splits up into armed camps there will be three, the extreme right, the extreme left, and the good god fearing, hard working, heavily armed everyday people who will hopefully keep it from getting out of hand.

Like many libertarians the author lacks a sense of the role that logistics play in modern life. We are food-producers and distributors at our current population level, and in the United States, that production and distribution system is more highly developed than anywhere else. It is possible that multiple simultaneous natural disasters, coupled with world-class governmental incompetence could cause that system to break down in areas. But in otherwise normal conditions, any disruption (for say political reasons) of the commerce of food production will be met with overwhelming force. I have known libertarians who consider that it might all go south and seriously believe they can get by on what is in their deep freeze from last fall, plus the pantry and garden. If the juice goes out, hey, got the gas generator. Yeah, and how many gallons of gas? And do you think you might stick out like a sore thumb in an otherwise dark (and hungry) countryside? We're stuck with each other, better find a way to make it work.

Some "trained" engineer will stop and say, "I can fix that!"

Read 'The Fourth Turning' by Strauss and Howe (good luck finding a copy). It looks at the stages of a society in terms of the four phases of a person's life, staggering those over four generations.
