If Balkanisation happens, it would ba as a result of peaceful elections of independentists Congressmen.
Wha if they don't want to? Such a prospect would be highly unpopular in places where people have to actually put their real name (as opposed to the internet and petitions thereof).
Besides, The US has a bad history with people leaving the Union. Last time there was a war. Anyone who mentions seriously the prospect of leaving the union does it in the context of not recognizing the current one, or war. There are no independantists as you imagine. There are no quebec-esque people. There is no Irish liberation front. There are no indendance parties or sub-parties. No one seriously talks about it. Besides, being american is the culture, as opposed to anything else. We are a young nation, but we are self-sufficient culturally. Even when people talk about taking back their government from "dem evul socialists", they talk about taking it BACK. There is no movement for the US to dissolve in any matter. I mean, it's ridiculous. This is one of the most nationalist countries in the world.
And, for the record, Balkanization has a terrible history. Example one: The BALKANS. It is a backward sliding hole.. And I can say that. Under the Communists it was at least modernizing, slowly, and corruptly, but it was needed. Now they are all so backward the best prospect for, say, Serbia, is currently a return to the Monarchy, of all things. The rest are anywhere from russia(hyper-corrupt) to a collapsing nothingness. (GJ Clinton.) I can tell you it doesn't work. I demand a example from history where it actually worked, where a large, coherent, nationalist country somehow was dissolved without bloodshed. You won't. You're not being optimistic, you're being naive.
Also, can we please move from this topic before I get more angry. Balkanization in any form enrages me, as I have stated before. As a joke it was fine, but, no. NO.
