What you're suggesting was pretty close to what the founding fathers intended
in the first place. Each state was it's own master. They, the state
governments, knew what was best for their own people and what their people
wanted. The feds were there to protect the rights of those states to be
independent of one another. By the 1860s, the whole thing flip flopped. The
states were there to support the federal government in their dominion over the
individual states.

Not quite. That was based on something else. This division makes sense
because each region has it's own specific geographical needs that can be
governed appropriately. But I'm not holding my breathe. Of course it could
come out of a complete economic collapse but more likely the rich will want to
commit suicide with a global war.
I'm just waiting for the other foot to fall.

Yeahhhh, we tried something like that here in South Carolina in 1860 -
didn't work out too well.

Break it up into the "Nine Nations of North America". I've been an
advocate of this ever since the book came out in 1981. It's based on the way
the American Indians looked at the country by geographical distinctions.

But the rich will cry because we'll be taking their toys away from them.

At least, Ron Paul thinks so. This could be the quick solution to eliminate

My gut feeling is: it would still be us.

| Ron Paul: U.S. secession is already 'happening' As recently as a few
weeks ago, Rand Paul's mentor insisted publicly that American secession is
"gonna happen" and that's "good news." |
