I'm a fruit salad kind of guy.  Fondue is okay, but give me a mix of
distinct apples, oranges, bananas and grapes, please.  It's healthier
and I think it tastes better.

Balkanization can be a good or a bad thing, depending on how deeply
ingrained is commitment to democratic process in the country being
balkanized.  If the Age of Enlightenment or the Age of Reason have not
yet visited, it can be a tumultuous experience.  I think USians can
handle it.
