Good question... and in the case of the USA, I don't think the same caliber of people are in charge now as were when the country's government was originally set up. In other words, if our system of government were scrapped and we started over, it's frightening to think what today's "leaders" would come up with it its place. Also, there is such a cultural divide between the "north" and the "south" that one wonders if two countries would emerge? Is it even POSSIBLE that another civil war could happen? I would have said no way last year, but I also would have said no way a congressman would say in 2009 what this one just said. Funny how a year can change your outlook.
