    as i understand it, the union was formed voluntarily, with states reserving the right of succession

    the civil war was the result of washington breaching that contract

    i am so sick of the political correctness of this country

    we are on the one hand continously compelled to praise our freedoms of speech and expression

    and on the other hand continously required to conform to the strictest conformity of expression and opinion

    i'm really wearly of this duplicitous culture

  3. It really is amazing how well Orwell predicted our times.
    The term you're referring to is called "Doublethink", and it <i>used</i> to exist only in the realm of science-fiction dystopia.

    Another spot-on Orwell prediction: Oppressive gov't coming up with ironic names for all their bullshit:
    Patriot Act... Ministry of Truth... Clean Skies Act... War is Peace... Freedom is Slavery... Ministry of Homeland Security... No Child Left Behind...

    Which ones are from the book, and which ones are real? It's getting kind of hard to tell.

  4. When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.....

  5. Don't worry, I'm sure ZZZenu will be a gentleman about this; admitting his error and sincerely thanking both of you for correcting him.

    After that, he'll pop over to the trading section of this site in order to assist a few perplexed newbies by providing helpful answers to all of their questions. Then he'll perform a few good deeds for strangers as a random act of kindness, have consensual sex with an adult female human, NOT get drunk, and call it a night.

    Any second now...

  6. Hail to the government of Paulville, as the Paulites secede then move to the Texas desert to form their own little "more perfect union..."

  8. No surprise that you fall on the side that supports the rogue states that killed hundreds of thousands of American soldiers...in the Confederate name of "Freedom, Justice, and The United States Declaration of Independence."
