Then you could have the secession of municipalities back into the US and so on... a complete disaster... based solely on ignorance.

People talk secession, but almost never understand what it really means and certainly don’t have the gaul to take the consequences that come with it.

Most can’t see past the most basic contradictions and logical fallacies in their views and they only support the side of freedom that supports THEIR view, even if their view on a separate topic is conflicting.

It’s just a torch party.

Has anything come of NH seceding? I haven't seen anything about it and
didn't know where the bill ended up.

Merrymeeting · 03-16-2022, 09:44 AM

It was overwhelmingly voted down last week

Sounds like they got it right.

It took Quebec decades to put itself in a position that it might have been able to separate from Canada... and then it decided not to.

NH can't even feed itself at this time. Most of our energy is shipped in.
I think it would take us decades if not longer to shift the balance of the basics back to domestic (in-state) production... so in either case we would be heavily dependent on the Union.

It was to give people the opportunity to vote on it- to get it on the ballot.

Anyway, as expected the bill was defeated.

As the OP just wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts and opinions. As others have said I'm glad this bill was scrubbed.

That being said while I surely believe in everyones right to free speech and their opinions I don't appreciate an elected group of officials wasting OUR time and money (they work for us) on an issue that is a personal idea ( and as originally noted is utter nonsense) and not something that their constituents asked for. They are supposed to represent us.

I do not generally get involved in politics but I will be working to support the opposing candidates for this group of officials when their terms come up for reelection

For Belmont, it is just a matter of finding someone that wants the seat.
The Democrats always run people that are zanier than even Sylvia.
