I find it astonishing that citizens of the world's strongest democracy could have such little confidence in their political system that they consider it necessary to be prepared at all times for civil war.


It's the lack of confidence in a ruling elite that makes the system strong. When the population has the capability of launching a revolt, then the ultimate power remains in the hands of the people, not the rulers.


wfaulk, why are you concerned about where I live?
