8. I am amazed at your erudite reply! "Different time, different place" |

What an astounding revelation! And aren't any two events at different times and places? Many of the elements that precipitated the Civil War are in place as we watch - not the specific details, but the underlying principles, agendas and socio-political (and now geo-political) issues are very much operational. What is very difficult to discern, however, is just who is against whom. There are alliances that would have been impossible to imagine a few years ago, and divisions just as previously inconceivable. It may end up with nearly as many factions as there are citizens...and that is a frightening possibility.
