. . . to admit that our nation already is in the midst of at least her fifth all-out civil war. No one says that the U. S. has suffered through a time of "troubles" as they do in Ireland, because every minute of our land's recorded history counts as troubled times. The film version of CIVIL WAR actually sanitizes Today's Real Life state of affairs. CIVIL WAR depicts NO school shootings. Toddlers are NOT being ripped apart by military-style assault rifles here. No one is being torn to bits while being chained to the rear bumpers of speeding pick-up trucks simply because they are people of color. Deranged killers in uniform are NOT slowly suffocating such victims to death on public sidewalks here. Maybe tons of Civil Wars were fought on our American Homeland prior to its history being recorded. However, the battles to eradicate indigenous people, then the British, then the states trying to escape this death trap, then the newly enfranchised winners and now the war against all enlightened individuals have overlapped and collectively spell out a penchant for unmatched violence, doom and CIVIL WAR.
