I'll sign in just to say that I don't consider myself a psycho, and I want it to go hot as soon as possible. I have kids, and I do not want them to be the ones who find themselves both new to adulthood and new to the conflict. I especially do not want them to find themselves in this conflict with the current crop of millennials as the reigning custodians, the stewards, the guardians in charge. I fear this outcome more than anything. GenX is the last generation that retains the memory of how things were, and how things could've been, before a handful of gut-punches sent Christendom into what might be a fatal tailspin. Whether or not it survives might depend on conflict becoming neighborhood-to-neighborhood, City vs. Suburb/Rural, before GenX isn't around to at least remind the younger combatants that a good, decent, peace is possible.
