So, is America going to break down like Russia?

Yes, according to this russian professor:

http://www.drudgereport.com/flashrur.htm

But then again, he`s russian, so he may be a little biased .
Do you guys think his predictions have a chance to happen?

I have stockpiled Disco music and powerful amplifiers/speakers for use in causing extreme mental duress, thus disabling the people that stockpiled guns and ammo, so that I can seize the potatos and toilet paper that they seized from the unarmed people.

I have many track suites, cowboy outfits and leather biker look outfits, so that when we do turn in to Russia, I will fit in nearly every social setting.

Or, I will fit in with the Village people crowd

One suggested region:

the northern states, where the influence from Canada is strong.

Yes, the strong Canadian influence will push Michigan over the edge. Sheesh.

I love the bit about Alaska going back to Russia, perhaps their Gov could flex her superior international relations chops in that situation

Doesn't Russia have a flat tax now? Maybe we need a revolution to get that too.

Try reading a few issues of BusinessWeek. Russia is as a corrupt as any African nation just on a larger scale. They make us look like Switzerland.

I think it's likely in the next 20 years. The US Govt is on a slippery slope with no upturn in sight. I'd like to see a poll of people who would support their state pulling out of the union.

I'm stockpiling ear plugs and bandages that I will barter for potatoes and toilet paper.

I think we're just behind Russia in corruption, except we actually don't call it corruption or think it's at all corrupt.

I would love to see Washington pull out of the Union. The rest of you sorry bastards would just have to find a way to make it without us.
