Default a man in my city

there is a man in my city who is trying to start a civil war between blue and red states, he says nothing but his actions speak volumes. i trust and believe in the person and understand he is a genius. i think it would be possible to accomplish this goal. Should this be something to consider? Is it possible? Does online poker favor southern fish? Is this world as wicked as it seems?

I think Adam Smith in The Theory of Moral Sentiments summed up well over 200 years ago why Red-Blue will not war. There is an argument to make for assimilation -- we simply spend too much time living and sleeping with the enemy. This is not true when groups choose not to assimilate, or are more regionally homogenous.

The red states would have a distinct disadvantage because they are filled with dumber people than the blue states. Kidding, people, it was a joke.

Considering the political affiliation of most of the military, this war would be over before it started.

If not the entire rest of the world, we could buy off whoever's left.
