<<balkanization is a good thing! it is EXACTLY what our founding fathers desired.>> Not a good thing. Not a good thing in the former Yugoslavia and not a good thing if states rights had prevailed and if a state had wanted to keep slavery, that's what it did. Maybe 200 years ago, with a population of 3 million scattered over a few hundred square miles and no immediate communication across the country, state sovereignty made sense. I don't buy it now. I do buy that government needs to of, by, and for the people, and I oppose all those who intend to alienate us from government. <<federal reserve debt notes and their debt notes are accepted everywhere. gladly.>> Fed? Debt? Have I been misreading you all this time? <g> I'll admit I only took the time to listen to a few minutes of Vrabel. Sounds superficially credible; I don't know or care to take the time to inform myself about everything he's advocating. But some of that sounds like the same thing we used to entertain ourselves with back in the early 1970's by calling the local John Birch Society hotline and listening to the weekly recorded message. Mixed in with the commies and hippies were the Bilderbergers, CFR, Fed, laetrile, precious bodily fluids, etc. I concur with MB - I'm done with this topic on this thread.
