76. Some of us have noticed that this self identification by region |

has increaed, as well as by political believes.
Moreover, to paraphrase the Observer... (sent shivers down my back by the way), Americans are no longer united by a sense of being part of the country, but rather are moved, only by a piece of cloth... not only as a nation
Let me give yuo an example (and why the PNACers failed for other reasons) ON December 8th, 1941 the Recruiting stations had to turn volunteers aawy... we did not have the gear or the traiing facilities. They were given numbers and told to show back in three to six months.
On September 12th, 2001 this did not happen... it did not happen two weeks later either. The country was ataacked, the reaction was we are hurt, we are Americns, but by golly we are nto going to the recruiting stations. this was my first clue there was a major problem...
Granted we now know what has happened over the last few years, but the fact that people did not react like they have always reacted when the country is under attack is telling, and telling volumes.
