OH FER CRYIN” OUT LOUD WHY DON”T WE ALL STOP FIGHTIN” THE F***KING CIVIL WAR AND REALIZE THIS M”FER IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS ABOUT TO SIGN A NUKE DEAL WITH IRAN THAT”LL GET US ALL KILLED!!(sorry for shouting at you friend but I just heard this coming home from work.)
Because the issue then, is the same issue now. We have an out of control Federal government forcing an agenda on us with which we disagree, and it's asserted right to do so was established by the actions of that civil war.
One of the few ways we MIGHT have escaped this disaster in the making is by breaking away into rationally governed districts separate from the printing presses of Washington and the media propaganda centers of New York, but you people keep insisting that such a solution is treasonous and intolerable, and so you consign us to a suicide pact.
*THAT* is why we are still discussing this. Till you grasp that people have a right to leave, the decent will be forced to die shackled alongside the wicked in this coming societal collapse.
