We are not immune to social unrest. The possibility exists that we will soon demand answers immediately. No jobs, foreclosures, lack of health care for the unemployed, higher taxes, the climate is right for unrest. But once the second wave of foreclosures hits, and unemployment is no more, all hell will break loose.

Good, thoughtful question. Have you read The Grapes of Wrath?
When people are poor, hungry and feel the world is against them we can expect almost anything.

I am not really too sure of that, I think we will at one point have some form of rebellion but I don't think it will amount to much.

There are three sides to consider, Right, left and i don't care.. The left is young and conditioned, the right is traditional but older and won't fight much so I really don't see much in the way of riots. Our country USA is going through major changes, some good, some not so good IMO, we will never satisfy everyone but I do see a future society of left thinkers. I am not really happy about this but I am a traditionalist-- that is not to say I believe in all past traditions.

Never. Americans may bitch and complain when the economy temporarily goes south but it will bear and grin it knowing that the cycle will do its thing.

Its possible sometime in the future but doubtful as America is slowly but surely moving toward a ridgid police type country, Americans have let politicians take away so many of their rights in the last few years Another 25 yrs. this country will not exist as we know it today.

People riot when they feel something has been taken away from them. The prison system is the biggest example. No freedom. Where does most riots again occur, where there is no freedom.
