  • Succession would cure the welfare problem. A state could have copious E.B.T., Section 8-type welfare benefits, and all the welfare-queens would migrate there. States could compete for the type of people they want.

  • Be nice if we could just get a divorce from congress and move congress to it's own island to run where it could run record trade deficits and have no jobs all while making it a great environment for ceo bonuses. Congress does whatever the campaign donors want and could care less about what the people want. We need jobs and who in congress really cares. They are not deserving of a paycheck.

  • Self determination is the definition of true freedom.

  • It just seems irrational to lump 300m people together under one single central authority. Why not give people 50 different options to find the government they like best, and do it peacefully?

    Of course the extremism of State secession wouldn't be necessary if we hadn't abandoned federalism for nationalism. I think that's why people think the Constitution is confusing. They think it created "one nation" instead of a federation. It's like getting a motorcycle owner's manual when you buy a car.

  • One wrong thing. NY doesn't have any values.
