Well, about that whole Civil War thing, well, if you\'re proclaiming that the Union attacking the South was a bad thing, well, it really wasn\'t. If you aren\'t saying it\'s a bad thing, then...why did it even get brung up?
If the South and North would have split and created their own separate countries, it was just going to lead to a war anyway. Fighting over territories to the West, goods, trading, etc. Other European countries, say, Britan or France, would see the weakness of the Two separate countries, and who knows, maybe even make a move to take the two countries over. Each side has their own advantages, disadvantages, and so forth, so a separated country just would have been bad period. Basically, it just wasn\'t going to stay that way.
I find this quite interesting that this in fact ISN\'T a "Lets bash America" Topic, becuase from the Naked Eye, that\'s exactly what it looks like. It almost seems as if nothing that we do could ever be right in the eyes of the Left Wing.
Then again, I agree whole-heartedly with Tony about Bush and 9/11. Bush and the Republicans have used 9/11 to push their own political ideals, and in turn, **** with peoples\' emotions. Just a couple days ago, Bush got his Homeland Security Bill passed, which creates another Cabinet position. What will this succeed in doing, I\'m not sure, but it can\'t be good for the freedom of the individual citizen.
The problem is, even if we wanted this to change, the Two-Party system is so deadlocked over everything, that anything that could ever get passed takes months and years, and probably won\'t even be agreed on anyway. It sucks.
