You seem obsessed with civil war and secession; hence your screen name.
Get over it; that war ended long ago. We’ve moved on — sometimes for the good, and sometimes for the not so good; that’s just reality, and rather normal for such imperfect creatures as humans.

I am obsessed with freedom. Whatever it takes.
