No, it would be a conservative's worst nightmare. Suddenly, instead of 1 national government, there would be 50 of them. Fifty postal services, fifty reserve banks, fifty departments of defense. And borders, ID cards and paperwork everywhere.

The problem with disbanding is geographic. Look at a map and tell me how the Mississippi River region could be separated.

And don't tell me they could 'share'. The farthest point downstream controls everything upstream, making New Orleans one of the most strategic cities in the Nation. Miami is another strategic city.

Naw - you're focused on an indirect democracy.
We don' need no stinkin' democrazies.

I believe that the original contract stated that we were promised a "republican form" (no connection with the partisan political party).

A republican form is not synonymous with "a republic".

In plain English, the republican form of government is one in which the people are sovereign, served, not ruled, by government, composed of volunteers ("citizens") who step DOWN in status, become obligated to perform mandatory civic duties, and adhere to a higher standard of behavior.

That most Americans were fooled into believing they were "born citizens" (which would violate the 13th amendment), and are misled to claim to be citizens at every opportunity, is tragic and funny. Because all of the pertinent facts are in print, in the public record, available at any county courthouse law library - if only the people would bother to read their own laws.

I would be fine, I have a skill that is essential, as I'm sure many people on this board do.
Except for the fact that the majority of the country's GDP comes from blue states.

The correct organization to contact is your state's legislature.

Not mine...

yours.

No, people like you who blame liberals for all the problems. Good god you guys are a dense bunch. "godd*mn liberals fault". Just keep singing that tired song, it's working out real well for you.

Really, the US completely disbanding into 50 small nations would be the Republicans worst nightmare. All of their anti-woman programs would go up in smoke before their eyes and they would have to get a real job instead of stealing and taking advantage of the poor.
