Yeah yeah, y'all are like Texas talking about independence but from the other side of the boarder. You're practically States already; one major oil strike away from a WMD Bushwanking invasion.

Yeah, but we have a functioning democracy. That's pretty cool, if you want to fling mud.
I don't think any of us really have a choice in the matter of our governments any more than a sand grain has a choice of beach or sea bed, right?
I'm not flinging mud friend. I think all philosophical government speak must come with a ribald pall. I am flinging a beer at a new friend in a digital bar for a few empty words. Sorry if my ebullience tints florid or dare I say turgid.
I've fallen through the social safety net of my respective government with an insuperable future. My sardonic outlook colors my words.
