Daniel Miller's Short Take On Texas Secession

Daniel Miller's Short Take On Texas Secession

Quote:

Although I could talk about governmental theory and the social contract, I want to start by giving you an analogy. Imagine for a moment that you are married. Not a stretch for some of you since you are married or have been in the past. Now imagine that your spouse had done the following: - Taken your paycheck and spent it on drugs to the point of running you into serious debt - Rendered you and your children financially strapped to the point of financial ruin - Taken your money and given it to your neighbor so that "we can be friends" - Actively worked to turn your kids into "abusive" clones and against you - Ran up gambling debts that you and your children had to pay - Repeatedly cheated on you but promised that the next time would be different - Made decisions for you that were detrimental without your agreement - Put a second, third or fourth mortgage on your home without your consent - Promised that they were placing money into your retirement but they were really spending it on frivolous items which would render you destitute at retirement - Refused to put locks on the door even when your house has been broken into, your property stolen and you have been raped repeatedly - Failed to come to your aid when you were injured or sick - Became domineering and controlling to the point of obsession - Refused to let you speak your mind about these problems and when you did labeled you as "unstable" and "fringe" - Threatened to beat or kill you if you ever leave What would you want to do in this situation? If you said anything short of "divorce" please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). But did you catch that? D-I-V-O-R-C-E! Divorce and secession are the exact same thing.

A very interesting read.
