[K5pbem] Some comments on the Kazei 5 Timeline from an outside source

[Nestor42 at aol.com]

As someone mentioned before (I believe it was Steve), any societal  breakdown 
would probably occur between urban and rural areas, and I personally  know of 
a few areas north of the Mason-Dixon line that can be a match to  anything 
seen in "Deliverance." ;-)
 
For example, the Great Lakes area have a high concentration of industry,  
which might set it apart from, say, Ohio (just off the top of my head).
 
Trying to work out an exact split of states and areas may be the work of  
social engineers, but we're just here to write stories, so making it simple may  
be best. I think the current model Mike has should work fine.
 
Besides, we're all over in Hong Kong anyway. ;-)

You can find the occasional kook, or three, who thinks  their
particular state or region would be better off on its own.
Most  countries have their separatists, equally, most don't
amount to much more  than a few people here and there going
against the flow.

I *do* live  there, here, whatever, so....  I feel entirely
safe in saying,  no.  There are no significant amounts of
people, either singly or as a  group, in the "south" who wish
to cede from the United States.  Any  and all rumors, stories,
and whatnot of the "south" rising again are urban  legends
at best and plain damn nonsense at worst.

If secession were  realistically going to happen in the US,
it would take a severe breakdown  in both the civilian and
military chains of command for an extended period  of time.
Essentially the entire collapse of the US as it exists  today.
And at that point you're far more likely to have  greater
balkanization than you generally see in most divided  US
scenarios.

That's my nickel anyway, YMMV.
