Given that the country hasnt been this polarized since pre-civil war periods, isnt it time the regions of America Went their own seperate ways? I have an idea on how this can be done effectively, and without all the sacrifices that would come from a normal secession.
First, we need to establish a government system that gives people powr over their own communities. For instance, the culture of one town in Mississippi wont look like the culture of a town in California. The people are different, and their values are different, and that should be okay.In this new system of government, communities would be able to govern themselves without fear of federal or centralized government, or some foreign political group coming in and dictating their livelyhoods based on the opinions of people who are 1000 miles away and will never live there. Then, we need to create a binding document that recognizes individual liberties that are natural to every human being, so that everyone, regardless of what region theyre in, is free to pursue life as they wish.
The end result will be a nation where the people have direct influence on their livelyhood, communities dictate to themselves how to do things instead of answering to a governing body foreign to the area, State governments represent its many communities, and the national government doesnt have authority over states, but instead protects the principals that give states, communities, and people power over their own lives.
WAIT, isnt that what we had to begin with? WTF happened to America?
Personally, I can think of several states I wouldn't miss and wouldn't mind needing a passport to visit.
The current outcry against increasingly big gov. is the best hope we have imo.
What makes you think the country hasn't been this polarized since before the Civil War? In fact it's been DEEPLY polarized MANY times -- before entering WWI; before entering WWII; McCarthyism; the late 60's and early 70's. Not to mention the entire political structure in the "Deep South" morphing from Dem to Repub starting in the early 60's.
A house divided cannot stand.
I didn't say we should keep the status quo -- I said I don't think splitting apart is likely, at least in the foreseeable future. That doesn't involve any value judgment about whether splitting would be good or bad.
- How do we throw off the NWO chains that currently grip the nation?
- How would America have a military to fend off any other nation?
Then we will wish that we had put forth greater effort to effect change in a non-violent way.
And we will remember that it would have only taken wise voting by the American people.
