its easy to see the current US administration has helped ruin what was once considered one of the best political systems in the world..
the idea that a civil war could go down in the US in this century is pretty frightning

It's still an experement, Multi. Two and a quarter centuries may seem like a long time in human terms but it's a short sprint for a world that has seen thousands of years of political systems come and go. The curent political situation is just a hiccup. I seriously doubt a civil war is possible now, considering how bloody the last one was. And if it did happen, or if some other disaster occured that caused the collapse of this nation, the system itself would not be forgotten. Democrady, self government, and the original open document we call the Consititution are immortal by now; we're just the present torch bearers, and one day the torch will be passed to someone else but it will not be extinguished.
