When will the USA become the DSA? Will it be in my lifetime or further out? I don’t really think I have an answer to this dilemma but if things don’t change soon I think that, like the Russian professor who generated the map shown here, the DSA is a very distinct possibility. I am proud that our forefathers had the wisdom to create a constitution that has allowed us to flourish for more than two-hundred years. But that does not insure that the USA is a perpetual entity.

Division seems to be the way of the world right now. If you look at a globe made fifty-years ago you will find many new country names now.  And then there is the sectarian violence in so many other parts of the world right now. No one seems to be able to get along with their neighbors anymore. Everyone wants regime change but the biggest problem with that is there is almost never a new regime even close to being able to take over for the ousted one so therefore only turmoil results.  Because of that the world is actually getting messier because of all the unrest.

We in the United States are fractured along political and wealth lines. But, unlike so many other countries our fracture has yet to result in violence or death in the street. Will we be able to buck the current trend of change by violence? I pray we will but kind of expect we eventually won’t .

The Russian professor who made up the map above predicts that the U.S. will be controlled by foreign sources. I can’t imagine that happening. It is more likely that like Europe  before its union, we might divide into separate countries with individual governments. I only use the map above to get you to thinking about this possibility.  If we do split it will probably be more like a north/south/west thing or a red/blue one.

Sometimes the idea of a Divided States of America is not that fearful to me. There just seems to be two very distinctively different worldviews in our country right now.  Will those very different views come to a compromise as has been our history or will we fracture as so many others have done? The issue of slavery divided us for much of the first half of our existence. For the last one-hundred years our basic differences between humanity and money have torn us into two distinctive camps.  Will our fate be the DSA??
