Ultimately I see a "blood-less" revolution of sorts. The scenario unfolds in my mind something along the lines of the "massively red states" in the south gets together threatens to leverage their control over economic sectors in their territory (such as petrol refining and control of the Mississippi Diver delta). This would enable them to "force" the feds to concede to their demands of returning to a Constitutional Republic. I am not as well read as I should be about the ending of the articles of confederation and the beginning of our current constitution, but if memory serves, the original purpose of the gathering was supposed to modify the current form of government but ultimately ended with them kicking the entire government to the curb and installing what we have today (well, what we are supposed to have today). A couple of hard lessons will need to be re-enforced through some pain in the "blood-less" portion of the revolution.............. Pain is the ultimate teaching tool.............. and the best way to develop character (in my opinion).........
