but here in the US we're also headed for a full-on civil war if we don't start finding some common ground.

I mentioned this the other day (and other times) and some think that it isn't even close to it. I am not as sure. Too many factions, with so many looking for relevance. And then depending on how things goes where you are, is going to impact all other states too, right?

This is what I live for, the hope that humanity survive this chaotic transition for the sake of all future generations.

It is about the only positive - and it is a very slim chance that we can make it there. There is plenty of potential, but most of it dies on the vine.

Even when there are decent politicians, the system isn't designed for decent results.
