Separation and self-determination are the two core ideas that any health democracy should be based upon, or any relationship for that matter. The case for the separation of powers was well made by the Founding Fathers of America, but that wisdom was lost in the intervening two centuries between now and then. The speed-up of modern life and the changing nature of war has created immense psychological problems for man, that may have always been there, but came to fruition with the aid of technology.
Beginning in this century we're still affected by the trials of war, rumors of more wars abound, and were only slowly starting to adapt to the technological evolution, as well as the information and communication revolutions. As it is, the case for separation must be made again.
Why come together into one unified government when we have a more likely chance to survive and live happier apart? Besides, we're one regardless of our physical proximity. The arguments for a big government is that we'll join hands in a circle and take of each other, but when has the government ever worked that way? Living under one big government with all the resources in the world will not keep us safe, as it is argued, just like being under one umbrella does not mean that we will all stay dry from the rain, no matter how big it is.
Forming our political relationships in one giant colossal system makes our society more vulnerable, and less resistant to tyranny. We let our guard down when we feel safe and secure and that is when tyrants make their plans to gain power. And were easily scared so as soon as a tragedy strikes we give up all sovereignty and cry for relief, which tyrants keep in mass storage. Relief is the avoidance of distress, of due reckoning, a release from your post as a citizen. Christ's example taught us to carry the burden, even if it leads to death, and this message is not a rejection of this world but a call for correction.
We've accepted that idea a man and a woman can divorce, but not a citizen and a state. This state of affairs cannot last. The idea of secession needs to be reexamined because its coming up on our civilization like a whale and we will be forced to strangle with it sooner or later.
Decentralization is the greatest idea of all times, but especially ours because we can put it into motion in ways Jefferson never dreamed of. Technology exists so people can have a freer time and more choices to decide how to spend that time. On the internet there are various online communities and forums that caters to people's different interests and they are popular because individuals have chosen to join those communities. Democratic government should work the same way, and it is the cheapest way for all parties involved.
People of the world want to decentralize and America is leading the way. The decentralized example that America can provide in the years ahead may redeem America in the eyes of humanity, and make the country a better place to live in. America is an innovator of war, that has been proven time after time but who says it can't also be an innovator of peace?
Here is Kirkpatrick Sale giving a speech in New Hampshire last November, at the Secession Convention speech.
