    it's a bad idea for us to seccede from the union ,but i see no other choice.

    Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide, and Amerika is committing suicide. In recognizing the severity of its difficulties the country has chosen a reform candidate to lead it, believing a good leader can save it, but it did so too late.

    Amerika no longer has choices. Long depression, and starvation, riots are already on the horizon. Amerika will soon no longer be able to maintain itself as a whole country. Already the cracks are forming. The corruptions of national integrity are deep and irreconcilable.

    For all its history the US has avoided the political and boundary shifts which have plagued the rest of the world over the centuries, particularly Europe and western Asia, but it will not be able to avoid them much longer. The types of divisions have become many, and those divisions are becoming greater before your eyes. War is coming.
