Science Operations?
Or do you mean Psy Ops as in Psychological Operations?
And no, there wouldn't be instant rebellion, there would be massive panic as they'd be in a world so radically different from the one they came from they couldn't cope. Hell, the idea that women and blacks could work and vote would be more than enough to cause them to panic. Then once you tell them that this world is all because they rebelled against the King, they might just not rebel at all.
Yes, I meant Psy, don't know why I typed Sci, lol.
As far as the time machine thing goes, I should have expected a response like this one. The liberal thought process reminds me of a pinball machine.
What? That someone from 200 years ago would be unable to cope with the modern world? Yeah, that's exactly what us liberals say. It's not like it's true or anything...
You refuse to see the obvious intent of what I was trying to say in order to divert the conversation into something ridiculous.
No I saw it. You're argument is that the mindset of the colonists in 1776 and what they envision government to be is radically different than what the US government is now. I have no objection to this as it's accurate.
However, since 1776 was a primary agricultural, rural society with a much smaller population density, I'd say the world has changed a lot since then. Let's face it, the ideas and morals of 1776 simply don't work today. We're more crowded than ever, crime is higher, population density is much higher, technology allows for communication between anyone in the world almost instantly, travel between America and Europe takes hours instead of weeks, and the whole world depends on each other to survive. We didn't even have a need for a lot of Oil back then but now we need millions of barrels of oil every day. Barrels we don't have, I might add. The US's policy of isolation stopped working when we realized that events in other parts of the world affected us.
Also in that time period you had more self reliance. People made their own clothing, grew their own food, chopped their own wood, ect... We don't have that anymore. In fact, one of the ways people used to make a bit of spare cash was to sell their own goods such as wool or cotton, processed themselves. However, businesses removed that source of income when they built factories, forcing the country folk to move to the city to do the same thing for less money.
But really, we couldn't do that today anyway. With a population of over 300 million, there isn't enough land for everyone to have their own farm. Animals are processed in factories these days because that's the only way to get the volume needed for our consumption.
I'm sorry if you miss the old days, but those days don't work anymore. Not unless you wipe out half the population of the US, destroy electronic communications, and wipe out airplanes.
