See, I keep seeing this argument that "we" have the right to secede but no one is actually seceding. So what is the point of making the argument?

We Americans, are endowed with a natural God-given right to a government of our own choosing, and this natural right trumped the authority and sovereignty...

...message boards are repetitious and thats because issues that affect people are... it would be wonderful if a problem came up and we could solve it and it never re-surfaced but thats not how life is...

Starting such an intimate discussion, with such a divisive concept is a bit odd.

It's just a package of adjectives they unthinkingly staple onto everything. There's no reason to it, only vapid blather.

I am not sure how the secessionists are going to keep a new rogue corporate government at bay, with so
many people and politicians wielding pro corporate outlooks...
That is a pickle

I am sorry you want something now now now. Seems to be a symptom of the times, and is part of the reason this country is in the mess it's in.

Well first hurdle would be getting a majority in the state wanting to secede....Then there would be no excuse to use force since they would not be seceding.edit on 11-8-2011 by hawkiye because: (no reason given)

You should really try decaf.
Did you read the OP? The case being made, yet again, is that states have the RIGHT TO secede. This is different from your typical "we just wanna secede" thread. I am not saying I need the people that want to secede to hurry up. I am saying that the people that feel they have PROVEN they have the right too, need to stop trying to convince us and get on the ball. If they have that right, that discussion is over. Time to move on to phase 2. Why keep claiming you have the right over and over again unless it is possible you really do not?
