There is no way a state like Massachusetts and Texas should be in the same country. If states do secedes it is an orderly process, people don’t just run around in the streets with AK-47s. You must read way to many novels.
“If states do secede it is an orderly process, people don’t just run around in the streets with AK-47s.”
As it is, I’d have to disagree. The last time it was tried, it was not an orderly process, and folks did run around in the streets with the 1860 equivalents of AK-47’s.
That being said, I do believe that state secession should be allowed, and there should be an ordery and peaceful (and somewhat lenghthy) process for doing so.
After all, we are, in theory, a free people.
And it has always bothered me that the US preaches to the rest of the world about allowing self-determination, but refuses it at home.
At the risk of repeating myself on this thread, a Constitutional Convention is needed.
