I don't know how well armed Canadians are, but having been to Canada years ago and having known several Canooks here in the States, I don't think they'd have a problem taking up arms against the States. Most of them, the ones I've met, don't think too highly of Americans anyway. They think we're arrogant and belitteling(sp?), and for the most part they are right.
Texas, well they probably have a gun to person ratio of 10 to 1 for the whole state. Could this be because they secretly fear a Mexican invasion? I mean an invasion besides those Mexicans jumping the border to work.
I know here in western North Carolina almost everyone is weaponized up their eyeballs.

After considering this for a bit, I just do not see how the US could break up. Even if Washington DC became a glowing pit, there's too much bureaucratic back-ups and chain of command, and too many areas that could become a temporary capital to run the nation.
On the whole, when the nation is threatened, Americans tend to forget they are northern or southern or western, and tend to think in terms of being an American.
Nope, just don't see it.

[QUOTE="exo_doc, post: 47817, member: 815"] I don't know how well armed Canadians are, but having been to Canada years ago and having known several Canooks here in the States, I don't think they'd have a problem taking up arms against the States. Most of them, the ones I've met, don't think too highly of Americans anyway. They think we're arrogant and belitteling(sp?), and for the most part they are right. Texas, well they probably have a gun to person ratio of 10 to 1 for the whole state. Could this be because they secretly fear a Mexican invasion? I mean an invasion besides those Mexicans jumping the border to work. I know here in western North Carolina almost everyone is weaponized up their eyeballs. After considering this for a bit, I just do not see how the US could break up. Even if Washington DC became a glowing pit, there's too much bureaucratic back-ups and chain of command, and too many areas that could become a temporary capital to run the nation. On the whole, when the nation is threatened, Americans tend to forget they are northern or southern or western, and tend to think in terms of being an American. Nope, just don't see it. [/QUOTE]
