One doesn't have to be extremely prescient to see that the country is on a path that will lead to its coming apart like an overripe grapefruit.
The glue that formerly unified the nation was the Constitution that provided for a limited government. It was impractical for such a government to run roughshod over those who held minority views or lived in unconventional ways. Tolerance and accommodation were necessities. Today anything that can gain a single vote beyond half of those voting on any issue is transformed almost instantly into the law of the land or, at least, public policy.
While we still pay lip service to the Constitution, we have permitted our elected officials to transform themselves from public servants into an unaccountable ruling elite, and -- with the assistance of their media, big business, and academic allies -- the government into an unlimited one.
In all likelihood we will have a serious rebellion and/or secessionist movement before the end of 2012.
