Secession

Posted on by

Tom Woods talks about secession.  When many people hear this they think of the Civil War or racism.  This is too bad because secession is probably the most important right that a group of people retains.  This is supposedly a ideal in the West, the right of people to have self determination.  After World War I, Woodrow Wilson argued that all peoples have the right to rule themselves and choose their own destiny.  Wilson might have not been sincere (he is a politician after all) but the whole Western world had to concede to Wilson’s moral stance.  Self Determination is not just some slogan, it actually means something.  Here in the United States, what used to be called “these United States”, the idea of one nation under rule of Washington DC is a more recent development.  During the peace with King George after the Revolutionary War, each colony signed their own peace treaty with Britain because each was considered a sovereign country.  It also generally assumed until the Civil War (or more accurately, “the war between the states”) that the union was voluntary.  Lincoln’s acts of aggression against the South was a war of conquest and was illegal.  We need to reevaluate this ancient tradition of secession and self determination.   Smaller political units are much more responsive to the will of the people and are much better at protecting the rights of the individual.  I hope for a future where each state is truly free to decide their own destiny, it is what we desperately need more than ever.

  6. Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have
    any trouble with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and
    I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no data backup.
    Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?

  26. After I initially commented I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the exact same comment.
    There has to be a means you are able to remove me from that service?

    Thank you!

  27. Howdy this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use
    WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.

    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from
    someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  34. I drop a leave a response when I especially enjoy a article on a
    site or I have something to contribute to the conversation. Usually it
    is triggered by the passion communicated in the article I browsed.

    And after this post Secession | FreedomOmaha.com. I was actually moved enough to post a
    thought 😉 I do have 2 questions for you if you tend not to mind.
    Could it be just me or does it look as if like some of the responses appear as if they are coming from brain dead
    visitors? 😛 And, if you are posting at other online social
    sites, I’d like to keep up with you. Could you list the complete urls of your social sites like
    your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

  36. My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on various websites
    for about a year and am concerned about switching to
    another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?
    Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

  49. With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot
    of unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but
    it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help stop content from being stolen? I’d truly appreciate it.
