Well, I've yet to see a walmart open for business in the middle of a civil war battleground. The world might not be ending, but your food supply might. You never know about civil wars. They can turn out to be an inconvenience. Starbucks could close down for the day as well.
Oh, you didn't know that cattle just transform into hamburger and appear on McDonalds grills or that wheat magically turns to buns and floats in the delivery door either hub? Guess we are not up on modern methods. Lol

The caving in of the federal government to corporate america's wishes, as evidenced in this study:
for instance, an unwillingness to stop illegal immigration and lunatic, job-destroying programs such as the H1-B fiasco, have enriched a few at the top and obliterated the middle class.
If this situation continues, with large amounts of middle class jobs eliminated through off-shoring and the importation of cheap foreign labor (both legal and illegal), there is going to be a massive uprising, and it will not be pretty. There are already tent cities forming across the US in many places, so when the federal government handouts run out, and people can no longer feed their families - it will be game on.
A second study here showing how the US' middle class is falling further and further behind other nations:
The lunacy of importing the poor of the rest of the world, propped up with welfare dollars paid for with tax dollars from a rapidly shrinking middle class, along with the transfers of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of jobs overseas to places like china, has now come home to roost.
This mass jobs transfer destroyed the US' manufacturing base, and combined with the mass reduction of wages and career options for everyone from construction and IT workers due to the importation of cheap foreign labor - enable by compliant, tone-deaf congress whose primary goal is to satisfy its corporate benefactors - will lead to an inevitable uprising.
Personally, I give this country another 20 years at most before things explode, and am very fearful of the results. No revolution is bloodless, and given the sheer volume of weapons in the US, will likely lead to huge numbers of dead.
I pray that someone, somewhere in congress has the intelligence, courage and character to recognize that we are riding a train wreck going off the rails, and will step in and stop it.
Something is coming, although I'm not sure what or how long. I do think it will be more than a couple decades, though.
Not just leftists, but anyone who believes in modern biology......
Not seeing how what you are saying is mutually exclusive.... Funny coming from a women, where most of human history has had women subservient. I guess it's easy to sit back and claim survival of the fitting when its 2014.....
It's survival of the fittest. And why, again, do lefties claim to believe in it but insist on preventing it from taking its natural course?
They could keep a lid on things in the cities. Rural and remote areas, not so much. These areas could become quite autonomous and have a lot of the food producing capabilities. Governments would be forced to strike a deal if they want to eat. If they threaten to take it by force the people could just blow it all up and burn it to the ground. So, its play nice or go to bed without supper, so to speak.
Farmers want a profit for their work, same as anyone else. They're looking for buyers; not to hoard it until it rots.
it would be nice if things were better. But they are not. We don't need a civil war we need a constitutional convention. Do it right play the game by the rules.

Because Darwin was about nature as a whole, not human beings with feelings, beliefs, and intelligent societies. We are unique in nature. And the social Darwinism that conservatives adore has never been anything more than a smokescreen for greed and callousness.
Unless, of course, you believe that you personally are no more biologically advanced than the nearest amoeba. The rest of us understand the difference.
