The old America might be around in the hearts and minds of some people still but you missed the point....The only reason a revolution was possible back then was cause Everybody was farmers and Self reliant...They always had something to fall back on for food..and the people LIVED and knew all those skill sets it took to survive. Your talking 200 years later where you have MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of people living in cities who cannot support themselves or heat their homes if this country slips into Civil War/political unrest/civil unrest. Do you realize how fragile this country really is these days? If the Trucks stop running for ONE DAY in this country the whole countrys infrastructure caves in. Once it gets past a certain point of no return like that..its OVER. Your talking about Millions upon millions of people In urban areas leaving the cities looking for food, wide spread cannabalism, murder, rape ect ect...It would be so overwhelming out side of the cities on your farm or cabin you would be over run. It will be different in different areas...depends on the situation and resources. Situations will evolve/devolve fast/slow...for the most part it will be everyman forthemselves...after a given time small town society will start to form up again...This is of course a faster type collapse senario...If we had years and years of a slow ease into another great depression..It might give a majority of the population more of a buffer to reaquire the tools and supplies they would need to hold things together while the remainder of the populace can be helped and taken care of. My opinions on the subject anyway.

I think there was a federal study that predicted the deer herd to go extinct upon a fast collapse senario..I think it was like 6 months or some where around that..wouldnt surprize me. In my opinion a forcefull revolution isnt going to work, and rarely through out history do they work..It took our founding forefathers decades to agree on things afterwards..What we need to do is start with the individual and premote Self reliant lifestyles and Get the youth away from the TV and veneer BS and teach them skill sets instead of trying to fix this country from the top down.
