Wish I Could Have Made It

Here is a short news video of the Second North American Secessionist Convention. I have corresponded over the years with several of the folks seen in the video but because I am out of the country so much I have never met most of them face to face. I hope to rectify that circumstance before the next meeting. Think what you will of this "crazy" notion of secession but small is beautiful.

I know all th old arguments about replacing a large tyranny with many smaller ones and there is much merit to that argument. I would say simply rather the devil I may know than the faceless master from far away. What we have is simply unsustainable, the idea of our Republic is all that remains - merely an idea. As Mr. Berry once said you may need large organizations to mass produce cars but almost everything else can be done locally and small - that includes government. At least with government in small scales the real sovereigns (i.e. The People for those that missed civics) can exert some real control on those that represent them and ultimately in a diverse mix of smaller nation-states all men should be able to find a home that fits their moral, religious and political liking.
