Whaaaa? Put down the pipe.
Yes we're all going to start taking intellectual lessons from you. Right after you tell us where the "NATURAL RIGHT of secession" is outlined. I'm aware of the natural right to rebel against tyranny and to throw off an oppressive government, replacing it with something better suited to the populace. But a NATURAL RIGHT of secession? That's a new one on me.
The Civil War decided nothing. Do you know why? It would have been easy to add an ammendment after the War of Northern Agression to do so. A simple ammendment stating " No states or states may secede from the United States and become autonomous at any time or for any reason".
Why would I want to add an amendment taking away a right protected by the Constitution? Didn't prohibition teach you anything?
I'll tell you why, because the North wants to be able to leave it they want to, if the South becomes to much of a burden...
The North can leave at any time. So can the South. So long as it's done with the approval of a majority of the impacted parties.
Like I keep saying, F-ing Yankees couldn't even win correctly.
But the South sure did a good job of losing. And bitching about it for the next 145 years.
Whaaaa? Put down the pipe.
