In reply to the discussion: Ron Paul: Petitions on secession raise 'worthwhile questions' [View all]MyNameGoesHere
(7,638 posts)14. I don't want to get into the legal and patriotic aspects bout secession but..
I think America is at a point where maybe it would be better to self divide. I have no desire to conform to the rights way of thinking and they would rather die than to conform to mine. Would it really be the end of the world if we divided along political ideologies? Probably could never happen because of the problem with who goes where. But then again the Velvet revolution worked fairly well. Maybe for me it wouldn't be such a big deal because I find the USA and the originating philosophy to be deeply flawed. Maybe it's time to call the experiment a failure and try something different?
