Have the lines ever been more clearly drawn? Has there ever been a more appropriate time to talk about peacefully going our separate ways? The alternative is likely to cost millions of lives. We as a “Nation” are far beyond coming back “together”. We need leadership to start discussing this issue peacefully, before the people escalate handling it themselves...
Our history of drawn lines can be traced back to the very founding of our nation - when Samuel Adams stood on the State House steps and basically told the people gathered there - you're with us or you're against us. If you're against us - leave -
'We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.'
"American Independence" - Samuel Adams Speech - August 1, 1776
The nation survived. More recently, the '60 were far more tumultuous than today, imo. I don't know that the lines are more clearly drawn, they are just more visible.
