I’ll tell you what pal, go ahead and secede from the union and form your own little country. Let me know how it works for you. And watch you your calling ‘’duped’’.
"The extent of our country was so great, and its former division into distinct States so established, that we thought it better to confederate as to foreign affairs only. Every State retained its self-government in domestic matters, as better qualified to direct them to the good and satisfaction of their citizens, than a general government so distant from its remoter citizens and so little familiar with the local peculiarities of the different parts."
--Thomas Jefferson to A. Coray, 1823.
