    Bah, this crisis is too small for secession. When you guys get to cca. 15-20% unemployment, then you should get worried.

    The people who are in favor of this are the same kinds of people who can't find their own cock if you had the decency to find their gut for them. All hat, no cattle
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    States should only be allowed to secede if their petition passes the same rigor that it takes to admit a state into the union.
