It doesn't say "ties," does it? It says "government." Specifically it refers to the former government under the Crown. Meaning, the people of Virgina are going to have their own local government.

I don't recall anything about their government only being a "local" creation, which would be absurd in itself. Do you really expect anyone to believe you when you are effectively claiming that Virginia sent a message to the King telling him the equivalent of "we reject your rule and kick out your government, but we're still a part of your empire"? If so you truly are dumber than I thought, and that's saying a lot because one has to be pretty darn dumb to get caught 4 separate times attempting to falsify 4 separate court cases with extraneous material, having never learned from the first failed attempt at that stunt...or second...or third.

Returning to Virginia's constitution, I do see that they declared "the government of this country, as formerly exercised under the crown of Great Britain, is TOTALLY DISSOLVED"

See that capitan? Totally. Totally, as in a term connoting absoluteness. Totally, meaning in totality, as in a final, full, and complete severance from the government of Great Britain, period. To suggest anything other is simply dishonest...which is exactly what you are. A whiny, arrogant, ignorant, obnoxious and filthy little liar.

Other than for Moe and Larry, I haven't seen you cite any sort of authoritative reference about your so-called Virginia Declaration of Independence. You don't find it the least bit odd that they didn't mention the word, "independence"? LOL

You are wedded to your interpretation.

"I don't recall anything about their government only being a "local" creation, which would be absurd in itself."

That George Mason - what an absurd fellow!

From the Virginia Declaration of Rights: "SEC. 14. That the people have a right to uniform government; and, therefore, that no government separate from, or independent of the government of Virginia, ought to be erected or established within the limits thereof."

"no government separate from" and "within the limits thereof" = "local government" = "not from Great Britain"
