Stone-age tribes wandering the woods and plains and continually feuding amongst themselves had to give it up. I believe they call it 'manifest destiny'. Stone age is a type of technology and is not a measure of culture or social development. The tribes were nomadic because they had no reason to settle. There were, depending upon whose estimates you use, somewhere between 3 and 8 million people on the entire continent at the time the first European Settlers arrived. Contrary to popular myth, and Hollywood Westerns where most people mis-learn history, a good many of the tribes were formed into sophisticated governmental organizations e.g., The Algonquin Confederation, and the Cherokee Nation (which was not "1" tribe but many). With the population so sparse the easy life of the hunter-gatherer was a comfortable and easy life. Food was readily available, and there were no Monarchs going to war to steal each others lands and people. Yes, some adjoining tribes engaged in intertribal warfare, but it was not as widespread as the Hollywood movies from which you get your history would suggest. The technology in use was adequate to meet survival needs and thus there was no survival need to develop anything else. Most tribes were monotheistic and contrary to popular myth trade was widespread. The Cahokia mounds, which are actually giant earthen Pyramids (the largest standing about 100 feet and having a base covering 14 acres), appears to have been a major trading center for a large part of the midwest and down into Mexico. So, contrary to Hollywood Epic, and stilted histories, the Native Tribes were not quite the "primitives" they are often misrepresented to have been. European experience in warfare and advanced weapons is not a recommendation for their culture. Music, Art, and other advancements are. However, development of cultures over time occurs largely by survival imperatives.

So, since you want to play some sort of mesmeric soothsayer or prognosticator .. what will happen?

Sorry, mutts are disqualified for grandfather status. You'll have leave with the other Indian abusers. Drat! Of course you know that was not my point, but to simply underscore that most of the "natives" on this continent are not - natives that is, and that includes the Indian Tribes as much as they want to avoid admitting it. Kennewick Man and other finds suggest that there were caucasians on this continent at least as far back as ten thousand years ago and very likely earlier. The Mandan Tribe, before they were wiped out, had natural Redheads. Roman Coins and Nordic Runes are found as far west as Kansas and Oklahoma. As well is the mystery of the Great Lakes Open Pit Copper Mines on Isle Royal which is a mystery that the lamestream archaeologists are still trying to explain away. The problem they face is that while some tribes used copper they used chunks and whatnot that required no mining or smelting to speak of. The mine at Isle Royal is a sophisticated Open Pit Copper Mine that was in operation at least as far back as 2,000 B.C.. There is even a report, since suppressed, of a find of sophisticated Egyptian style artifacts in a cave in the Grand Canyon in the 1880's. Apparently the Smithsonian mounted an expedition and sent a Boxcar or two of relics back east where ala Indiana Jones they were buried and suppressed in the bowels of the Smithsonian. And the mysterious Olmec Heads of Central America have distinctively Negroid features - although lamestream archaeology tries to explain the similarities away. There are as well even more interesting rumors of finds of ancient advanced technology which the government has closed off to the public. I might note that the area of the Grand Canyon where the Egyptian find is located is closed off to both the general public AND National Park Service personnel to this day.

And that is a serious problem. You don't possess substance or character to answer much less show principle of conviction. Have you ever thought of joining a religious/political chit-chat channel? I think AKA Stone would welcome you under his cloak and associated mischief.

I find your perspective curious at best. If the federal government collapses what makes you think that society (as a whole) can survive?

You don't seem to understand the conceptual basis of a PhD, accredited with ensuring your continuing capabilities within government understanding and the now obscure (minor) private sector markets in America. What happened to you along the way? Don't you see the light?

Sneaky bastard.
Space: The final frontier of egalitarianism; darkie has no sense of wonder.
One of the reasons the Spainish so easily overthrew the Aztecs is because the dozen tribes the Aztecs used as human sacrifices helped the Spanish. Gibson does myth not history but he was accurate about cutting hearts out. One of the reason those Aztec pyraminds had all those steps is to roll bodies down them after their hears were cut out. No one know exactly how many people were sacrificed but historians believe it was hundreds of thousands of people.
"If ever this vast country is brought under a single government, it will be one of the most extensive corruption, indifferent and incapable of a wholesome care over so wide a spread of surface. This will not be borne, and you will have to choose between reform and revolution. If I know the spirit of this country, the one or the other is inevitable." - Thomas Jefferson
Some sort of governmental structure shall always occur whether you like it or not, particularly when the population base is so large (~320,000,000) in America. My bet is that if some sort of revolution occurs in America, the military shall assume vigorous assumption of POWER because of preexisting C4IR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance), all nicely payed for by the taxpayer and ready to serve us.

You won't see it in your lifetime; I assume that is decades to come. One of the main reasons is that Congress enjoys creating jobs through military programs. These expansionist programs of the government is one of the principle reasons why you don't see Congress cutting back programs after budgeting unless those same programs are a political hotbed, somehow. Pork spending is a necessary evil in the budgetary process and what better way for a local Congressman/woman to boast of creating jobs locally through defense programs. It is considered a "WIN-WIN-WIN" situation for local employers, employees and the defense over-all even if the program(s) are silly or trivial. With that attitude being very pronounced in Washington DC (controlled by both major parties) you can't see a systematic method to reduce spending particularly since the lion's share of campaign contributions come from lobbyists which keep the candidates in position. Most people vote their political party line; they don't even contribute to a campaign much less read the background of any of the candidates running. Most voters read their election ballots the night before elections and for issues, they just read the summaries anyway. So, with an indifferent populace casting their ballots without any serious research; with politicians taking the majority of the campaign funds from single/multiple issue lobbyists; with federal budgets being approved based upon pork spending and presidents that must go along their party line how can Washington DC become decentralized?

That is a matter of perspective. But, it doesn't alter the fact that the cultural climate in Washington DC must be changed; and no one knows how to do it. So, back to the original point, if the government continues it's own uncontrolled record of spending and creation of massive government programs there is only one way to avoid it; a people's revolt, whether violent or otherwise somehow; and if that were to happen, the US military would assume control of ALL government POWERS and create martial law eliminating many of the freedoms and liberties most folks cherish.

Yes it is. Congress/GAO/all federal bureaucratic budget offices (by the thousands) reference the federal budget to overall GNP. Minor incremental expenses are often just shrugged off year after year after year and rationalized for national security purposes. And of course, the commander-in-chief signs those matters into law.

A few new amendments to the US Constitution, fully enforced: I can think of others but that is a good start. ?

Depends upon which ones you look at. My Welsh ancestors, my last name is Norman-Welsh, arrived in 1626 - 1630 (the records are contradictory - some say one, some the other) from, most likely, Dorset, England. However, my Indian ancestors have been here a little longer. My Scots-Irish ancestors I'm not sure of, but I know they were here before the Potato Famine. My German ancestors were here long enough to have one Great Great Uncle in Lincoln's Secret Service (although most of my ancestors on the patronymic side were Southerners at the time of the Civil War).

Turtle, I'd like your take on the Aztec civilization. My knowledge base is limited to some limited reading and Mel Gibson's Apocalypto, which painted them as blood thirsty savages. I tend to agree w/Gibson's take as the PC crowd takes an opposite position.

Alright then, what's your solution? (post#58, this thread)
1) Voter qualification test and screening required of all candidates running for office and the respective voting publick, thereof.
That should eliminate the varmints, vermin and the rif-raf from playing irresponsibly with the nation. 1a) Fluency test, for reading/writing in English with a passing score;
1b) Verifiable US citizenship requirement for a minimum of 10 years;
1c) Personal income and financial solvency; may not receive government
funding for subsistence purposes;
1d) Must not be an employee of the US government; must not possess dual-citizenship; must not be employed by foreign governments in any way. Well, OK, we'll disagree there on different principles of factuals, but I don't want to get into all that right now.
