    That’s an option but it would have to be something so heinous, to push us to unite, I couldn’t fathom it. Nothing, so far, has pushed us to that point.

    Think about how many mass shootings we’ve had and that still doesn’t unite us. The issue is more complex than our European friends understand.

      Yep. And that’s the American value system. Having your entire population under the veritable yoke of slavery and that isn’t enough to make you collectively revolt.

      Civility breeds cowardice.
