Great point. You also have to have a little respect for what you're leaving and a little dignity or civility.
Put the aggrieved victim stance aside, and understand that dissolution of ties would be the first step towards something new.
Too often separation movements are a matter of angrily slamming the door on enemies, and emotion, rather than prudence and forethought, rules.
What Gandhi understood is that movements get further when they're not motivated by anger and hatred (or whatever you want to call that emotion).
“You also have to have a little respect for what you’re leaving and a little dignity or civility.”
Don’t see much of that happening, do you?
Instead the hotheads will probably try for a replay of 1861, and somehow expect the results to be different.
IN recent years, Weld is the fastest growing county in CO. The population would not be a terrible problem. They also have oil. All over.
And in regards to the rest of the state wanting these counties gone... well they are a bunch of big city ... sigh, can’t think of a pc word to say... idiots who don’t understand rural life and while encroaching on it, complain about it. Not to mention the state legislature passed a requirement for rural electric coops to increase the amount of “renewable” energy that they purchase, putting a financial burden on the already water and money strapped producers.
