Ron Paul: Petitions on secession raise 'worthwhile questions'

[qwlauren35]

33. Actually, I agree with him.

I'm not upset about people wanting to secede. And countries have split throughout time. Look at Korea, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, the USSR. Maybe it needs to happen.

But the reality is that the majority of people in these states don't want it. So it won't happen.

If this is how people let of steam, then so be it. It beats impeachment efforts.

I really think this is something to ignore. But if they really want it, let them take the first step and cut off receipt of funding from the US government for one year, pay taxes to their state instead, for one year, and see what happens. Oh, and not send representatives to Congress and the Senate for one year.

But be wary of a natural disaster, an epidemic virus, an outbreak of violence, or simply a hunger problem or a homelessness problem, shut down of universities, no veterans' services, I could go on...

PLEASE let them try it for a year.
