I remember in early adolescence forming a scheme to ‘conquer’ Easter Island as the base for a nation state, under the assumptions that no one was there, and no one claimed sovereignty to the place. I was quickly disabused of these notions when I whispered them to a trusted adult whose advice I sought on effecting these plans.
With hindsight, that was more realistic than this notion of Kasich’s.
You went there. ‘Effecting.’ Correctly.
