Obviously I don't advocate states invading each other and seizing their legislative assemblies, but it's patently obvious that most of rural Illinois outside metro Chicago thinks the state government is out of touch. Can we Missourians get together with Kentuckians and sponsor a petition by Illinoisans living south of Springfield, Ill., to leave Illinois and join either Missouri or Kentucky? Maybe northwestern Illinois would like to be part of Iowa or Wisconsin.
That would leave the Chicago-Springfield corridor to its own devices. They deserve each other.
Only two main problems with that.
First, I'd feel really bad for people living in Wheaton and DuPage County in the Chicago suburbs. Maybe Iowa would be willing to annex all the way to the Chicago city limit if a strong wall could be built at the edge of town.
Second, I guess that means we'd have to take East St. Louis. I see no way around that. But maybe with widespread gun ownership promoted by Missouri gun rights, the legitimate inner-city businessmen in East St. Louis would be able to defend themselves and fix the place.
Yeah, I know this is crazy talk. Won't happen. But it would be nice to realign certain key liberal states where most of the people outside the big cities don't have a functioning government that represents their views.
Or, use the example of the Upper Peninsula ~ it's not exactly attached to MIchigan. Build a wall around it ~ maybe set up a controlled corridor like they did with the autobahns to Berlin.
There are so terribly many options it boggles minds.
Still, something must be done to isolate the Chicago contamination from the rest of the Midwest.
Gun control is effectively about a move by the elite, who can afford their own well armed security, telling other Americans “you can’t have the right to the same self defense as do we”. It’s the first official step in creating a caste system of elites and commoners and is an obvious attempt at class warfare.
We’ve allowed this gang of relatively few urban elites who use their money to influence politicians in a way that does harm to our Bill of Rights, and ability to defend our own households and families.
