Happy Easter to all who are celebrating today.
This season of renewal invites us all to believe in the triumph of light over darkness, life over death, love over hate.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

The Loneliness No One Talks About
No one warns you about the loneliness that comes with growing.

Now that we’ve determined we don’t need Federal government for that let’s go a step further. Make each state handle everything on their own. The people they put in office will have no say in anything outside their state. Oh, and wait, that’s too much governing from Albany to say what Buffalo or NYC should do so each…
But you forgot about the military? An enormous part of the Federal government. How would they fit in your scenario? 50 independent state military organizations? Who gets the nukes? All 50? These crazy people don't have a long view to see how starting down a path is a straight line to chaos. Though have to admit, living in Illinois, another state that sends more to the Federal government then it gets back, that part sounded attractive.
"We'll try to stay serene and calm when Alabama gets The Bomb."
There is nothing serene and calm about that scenario!
