There is not more danger now than there was centuries ago

The way you describe American history as "centuries" like we're the Roman Empire or Egypt when we've only got 2.5 centuries to choose from.

Being a continuation of England more or less, you've got more. Especially since those democratic traditions were pretty English in the beginning.

Fair but my point still stands. We've been here a long time and though much worse times. (The US civil war comes to mind)

I mean hey you're right, we're still here...but we'd really REALLY like to prevent a second one of those...From the reviews I've read it wasn't a fun time for pretty much anybody involved.
