What Judge Thomas Said

 Noticed this today.....Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas made a comment about the protest crowd....that they won't influence outcomes.

Then he says something to the degree...."that society has become addicted to wanting particular outcomes."

I sat for a while thinking about it, and he's mostly right about this.

For maybe forty years, there's been some trend building up.  I'd say since 2008....it's doubled in nature.  But this was also a trend readily noted in the 1850s, prior to the Civil War.....where two side anticipated a outcome that the President, nor Congress, or the Supreme Court....could not deliver.

There are probably ten different accelerators to civil conflict/war, and this addition of outcomes is just one of the ten. 

The funny thing is that we've even dragged teenagers into the midst of this, and various ethnic groups.
