Do you have any concept what the definition of 'tyrant' is?
By your reasoning, yes.
Absolute nonsense.
Indeed, secession is a difficulty.
Not according to you. It's announce it and go. And in your world everyone else is supposed to agree that you are in the right and they are in the wrong regardless of the truth of the situation.
Why? Simply because it is a much more peaceable solution than revolution. But, you, no, you prefer revolution or tyranny. Which, pray tell?
Excuse me? You're the one advocating walking out without comment, for any reason or for no reason at all, repudiating all responsibility for obligations built up by the country as a whole while you were a part, and taking every bit of government property you can get your grubby little hands on and I'm the one advocating a violent solution? Your scheme is guaranteed to foster acrimony and lead to confrontation.
Ah, didn't the people of that state, when they were a member of the Lincoln Republic, pay tribute? They own that property.
You are disgusting. I am merely asserting the right of a state like Texas to secede. If it sounds otherwise, it is only to assert that right. Nevertheless, if the Obomacare bill is shoved through the house, then I may advocate secession for anyone living in Texas, and I'll help foot the bill for the horror, horror, horror of lost federal revenue, at least so long as it takes to pack up my things and head to Texas. I've lived there before and miss my friends.
Meanwhile, you can snivel away in self-consuming envy at thought that Texans are free unlike the rest of us.
Now this little tete-a-tete is entering a new level of silliness. The worst form of tyranny is for a man to be a willing slave to his own passions and wayward ambitions. I consider the second worst to be unable to educate one's children to escape the worst. There are many forms of tyranny, the modern era shows the diversity; the framers tried to prevent the tyranny of the majority; presently we are subject to such a multitude of tyrannies, it saddens me to think on. But a federal government that insinuates itself into my own home, my family, my faith, that is one that must be curbed or thrown off.
