Nobody wants another civil war. Burning down Taxachusetts as punishment condign, for their having instigated so much misery over the last 400 years or so, has its appeal, but belongs more in the character of divine retribution on a bossy, sinful and prideful Yankee people, and might better be left to the left hand of heaven.

Rather, the work before us is to discern clearly what happened and how the institutions and original intent of the Union were twisted and transformed into an engine of wealth extraction for the benefit of a relatively few people, and to undo all that damage and return the Union to its original spirit of freedom, proportion, and subsidiarity.

I must somehow have missed this when you originally posted it on another thread but you can put me down as a 100% subscriber!
