-— What does the term “union” mean to you? -—
A loose federation of states that can secede at will. Remember that states have been joining the federation up to the fifties. Why is it a one-way street?
In principle, escape is important in mitigating an overly powerful central government, like the one we have now.
You’re talking about rebellion. If you want to call it that, fine. But you can’t legally secede from the union. There’s no provision for it. I don’t like centralized gov. either. But the solution is not to secede, it’s to throw out the commies trying to take over.
