It is beyond obvious we will never agree on the most basic issues of governance and our ties should be cut immediately and permanently Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21147804 Absolutely. And the US gets to keep all that debt the federal government created. No the south can easily repay our entire per capita share of the national debt on day 1 of independence. is this before or after ya'll peel that fat arse off the sofa? |
