Interesting that you should mention civil war, Charlatan. There was a piece in the news a couple of weeks ago about a fundamentalist Christian faction wanting South Carolina to secede from the union. According to the story, they were urging supporters to relocate there from other states in order to influence the vote in their favor. I'll see if I can dig up a link when I have time. I honestly don't think their movement will get anywhere. The Federal government squashed a much larger rebellion of this sort in the Civil War of the 1860's, and the military capabilities of the two sides were more or less equal then. The government has far greater military might than any citizens' group now. The only thing secessionist extremists can hope to accomplish is to give a paranoid government an excuse to take more of our freedoms taken away.
