Reply #13: Musing about civil war - let's hope he's wrong...

[HughMoran]

"In fact, I'm convinced that it is likely that just when things start to look a little better, and that the economy is improving, and people start feeling a little hope that things will get better, there is going to be a massive and unprecedented collapse of the economy which will create panic, and will create shock in our citizenry, already reeling from the current economic depression.

This could create social disruptions, starting with the armed right-wing whack-jobs which have already been incited by the likes of Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and the other corporatist tools.

We may see some localized riots, and some armed skirmishes between groups that have been incited by demagogues. Violent crimes, like robberies would also escalate quickly, as the economy goes into a tailspin.

Let me finish by stating that these writings are mainly musings, and that I know many of these things sound outlandish. I'll be very happy if one day in the near future I say to myself "Gosh, talk about going off the deep end with all this conspiratorial stuff." I'll just shake my head about how wrong I was, and go on to continue living in a free, fair, and democratic society."
