You Say You Want a Devolution? by Robert Gore
The Brexit vote is more important than the US presidential election because whoever wins in November will be chained to the failing US government, while the British have an opportunity to shed some of their chains. Regardless of who wins in the US, the government will not relinquish its resources, power, or corruption. Centralization has advanced so far and so destructively that every expression or potential expression of a revolutionary desire for devolution—the transfer of power to lower levels and smaller subdivisions—is to be welcomed, be it Brexit or other countries leaving the EU, various separatist movements within countries, or mass disobedience to the dictates of centralized governments. As the Brexit vote and electoral insurgencies in the US and Europe make clear, the underlying pressures continue to build. Something’s got to give, and when it does, decentralization and devolution will give those seeking liberty a rare opportunity to build the kind of society they’ve always envisioned.

Good one Robert.
I almost gave you a minus 1 though for the malice aforethought of the title. Now I have the chorus of that Beatles song going round and round in my head.
That was cruel...very cruel.
Revolution is one of the songs my old band played in the early '80's.
Unfortunately I no longer know that it is gonna be alright.
Its also generates memory ties to the article for those of us old enough to remember that music LOL. Clever...marketing?
No coincidence that Mad Men was so popular.

If only the formerly sovereign states had the guts to make the rational demands that the southern states did.
Unfortunately, Lincoln and the GOP maneuvered the south into war with malice aforethought.
Thomas DiLorenzo explains the process excellently in his book, Hamilton's Curse.
If you want to understand how liberty was lost in America, it is recommended reading.
The world's governments have become hard to handle lumbering giants. Even with a good person at the controls, it will be a superhuman task to get even a part of it to run correctly let alone the entire mechanism.
Thank you. I love writing and for a long time I've had a desire to teach it, probably to high school kids. Part of being a good writer is being a good reader, so naturally I'd introduce them to what I consider great writing (backdoor Ayn Rand). Unfortunately, you have to jump through so many accreditation hoops to teach that it's just not worth it. Life's too short, but sooner or later I'd like to at least get down on paper my thoughts on writing. For now, I can do no better than recommend Strunk and White, especially their thoughts on clarity and concision.
May this ripple in the water rise into a huge wave.
Oops, there goes my wicked dino mind again.
I just pictured a cartoon Obama who flees a beach screaming.with his arms all up in the air.
This stems from cocky King Barry's' recent affront of telling the Brits not to leave the EU.
I hear Texas is thinking about withdrawing from the union. Thats never going to happen either, although I would certainly move there if it did. Obama would send in the troops to crush any sort of rebellion as happened in the civil war.
My freedom lovin heart is with them.
Standard English 101.
What Mr. Heart proposes is yet another revolution. There except the racism, sexism and bigotry is unclear.
I'll just point out the only legal version under the Constitution would be a counter revolution returning us to the shelter of that document. Among other things it a. would enjoy the 100% support of the entire military and b. guarantee a return to Constitutional Law.
Much more preferable than re-igniting race and gender wars.
That cabbage legislation quote gives a strong message. We have something similar here (Western Australia) on potatoes, at least it is up for revoking in the next session.
All this massive migration into the UK- maybe they have accidentally done something right since the newcomers may be a bit more sentimental about their new country than the 'natives'. There are many new Brits from India and even those from Pakistan would have little identification with Europe.
So defense will be paramount.
Even a hasty defense is nothing more than preparation of an ambush.
Always go for the leaders and the supply systems.
A well executed battle plan should result in no names taken. Just enemy KIA statistics.
Once you commit troops to battle there are no 'what ifs.'
