|

The story is here:
States Petition for Secession
And the worst part about this is that I come from Ohio, one of the states that made these ignorant petitions... If this secession happens, which it won't, I'm moving to another state like Illinois.
Seriously, the election's over. Deal with it and move on! _________________ My Fursona

There are three things wrong with the secession attempt. If it ever succeeded:
1. They lose all citizenship within a year, meaning that anyone wanting to opt out has that time frame to return to the United States without any hassle from the newly formed countries.
2. There will be no funding or support from any states or citizens still in the United States except for what we owe the seceding states up to the date they started the process.
3. If the seceding states owe any money to the federal government, then said government would be cashing it in as soon as possible.
In other words, if they secede, they would be in dire straits to finance themselves. _________________ My Fursona

America has been up the wazzo in debt for years, even before Obama. The financial state of America has been steadily declining for DECADES. _________________

The problem with politics is that the people running for offices of power make promises, such as lowered taxes, that are either broken or compromised.
As a joke, I wanted to see a candidate that was like an internet troll. The Troll Party, if you will. Troll would be like an acronym for Total Relentless Omnipotent Lasting Leadership.
It would be someone who would announce things like "I promise to make your lives a living Hell!" or "I will take away every single right you have and make my own decisions!" But in actuality, he or she is actually doing things that are beneficial to society as a whole. _________________ My Fursona

Isn't that already happening? _________________

That was satire though Silv. A reversal of words so to speak. _________________

I believe the dissection of the word "politics" is all one needs. "poly-" meaning many and "ticks" being small blood-sucking pests.
Truth be told, political discussion is about as welcoming for conversation as an unskilled physician is as a candidate to perform open-heart surgery. Arguments are about the extent of politics. "My way is right, and if you follow the other guy's plan, we're all going to die." If people spent half as much time in government doing work and generating solutions to problems as they did posturing about how right their decisions are, we'd be in pretty good shape.
Now, if you want to argue about who was more right or who had the better plans, by all means. Just remember that probably half the key legislation never makes it through Congress in under a year, if ever. |
