The New Crisis War Unfolding Now?

[TheNomad]

Yellowstone.... here's a question, if a natural disaster happens, is that part of a saeculum? Can some natural disaster be considered the cause of a Crisis?

I would personally say no because it involves no trend or "reaction" to any previous cultural impact. I think strauss and howe mention that America has been a good model for the saeculum "science" because it has not been affected generally by things like annexation by larger power or on-soil wars or natural disasters. Although I do not think they actually used the words natural disaster. Can a force of nature be considered a valid component of saeculum movements?

Seriously what does anyone think??
