They want “their own government” and a “nation within a nation”, consisting of “southern states”.
The irony is absolutely crushing.
It seems that those most eager to govern others
are invariably the same people who have failed
in governing themselves.
As a side thought -
I wonder what sort of industry they anticipate
developing to support themselves.
Farming?
Tourism?
Cotton?
Or maybe they could compete with the VietNamese
by producing athletic shoes and tee shirts.
