Please point out where you think I appear to feel threatened. Otherwise, stop assuming things about me. Thanks. :)
You oppose the project. Rational people oppose threats. Thus, its fair to comment that you feel threatened by the idea, in some sense. Why?
The rational point that I made was that 20,000 people are very unlikely to move themselves and their families over a period of nine years to another state for the sake of political experimentation.
Silly point. -- Tell that to millions of our immigrant forefathers. And the constitutional basics of our free republic are not 'experimentation'. These basics would be followed.
Although I'd like to see the guy try, he is not going to suceed. Offer free health care (including marriage counseling and massage therapy) paid for by tax increases, however, and you'll likely see an exodus of over 100,000 (IMO). Watch Oregon if their proposition passes.
Somehow, I just can't take your word on "trying", judging from your general anti-libertarian stance. Sorry.
Be assured that I did not state that I opposed the project, nor do I now oppose the project. I stated my disbelief that it would suceed. Perhaps that is your misunderstanding. It would appear that you equate my skepticism with opposition, where it is simply untrue. However, you have convinced others that I feel threatened, even though I am not. Such is the power of the written word.
"Silly point. -- Tell that to millions of our immigrant forefathers. And the constitutional basics of our free republic are not 'experimentation'. These basics would be followed. "
Our immigrant forefathers had the fortitude to back up their convictions and principles with actions. Today's citizens (regardless of political orientation) do not. Also I never said the 'constitutional basics of our free republic' was experimentation. (your words) It is the implementation of said basics onto a populace already dependent on the federal government's teat that is the experiment. "Somehow, I just can't take your word on "trying", judging from your general anti-libertarian stance. Sorry."
Apology accepted. :) And thanks for not calling me names or sarcastically slandering my statements. (Seriously)
