Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
Been hearing yammering about the nation divided against itself, being
torn apart by culture war, end of life as we know it, civil war, yada yada.Okay, sure, it happened once before. But there was a fairly clear
geographical division – North against South. What the division now?
Suburb against Core? City against Country?In a war with clear issues, clear battle lines, colored uniforms and an
honor code to waging war, America lost 620,000 men (plus an unknown
number of non-combatants killed by accident or for lack of food and
medicine as society was disrupted). That’d be more than 6 million
Americans today.Without clear issues, battle lines, uniforms or codes of conduct, this
next conflict will be more like Kosovo or Somalia or Syria: everybody
against everybody. The death toll won’t be anywhere near as low as 6
million.Maybe society should be moving to establish better lines, set up a
buffer zone, before the actual shooting starts? BLM in Minneapolis and
St. Paul proper, other Liberals inside the 694/494 loop, Conservatives
outside the ring. Cross the Line of Death at your peril. It couldn’t hurt.Joe Doakes
Berg’s 21st Law is in full effect.
We’ll be talking about this subject with Walter Hudson on the show Saturday.
