Civil War.... a fluid term

The "Civil War" concept is already a tricky one in ameriKan life. Many Southerners prefer to call it the War Between the States, which has subtleties lost on the masses for sure. (The states? Yes -- the CSA and the USA, not the individual states that existed at the time.)

This is a crucial, explosive distinction. If it was a fight between two countries, that's an entirely different kettle of fish than a civil war per se. That generally means a power struggle between factions within a country or maybe two halves of a country vying for dominance, that type of thing.)

And of course there are uncountable uses of civil war lingo amidst the great clask of cultures: are we a conservative or "liberal" nation? The two worldviews have never gotten along well at all. There is in fact a never-ending culture war going on in the Western world -- since the 1960s the battle lines have been pretty consistent, even at their most bizarrely volatile.

It has been speculated over and over through recent decades as to what would (if you'll pardon the expression) trigger an actual armed conflict between the two poles of people in the USA -- those who favor freedom, privacy, "traditional family values" versus those mandating slavery, a goldfish existence for you and me, and an "anything goes" attitude among the sheeple with corresponding government policy.

It came as tragically exciting news that Colt's Manufacturing is leaving Connecticut on principle
and will be enriching Texas' economy, prestige and overal intelligence instead from now on. What do you want to bet that most of the states being thus ditched will be of northerly location?

Will all this lead to serious calls for secession, even among the sheeple? Hey, what if the institutional-mad yankees drove all the gun people out of the blue states, not just the makers.
