    Other than quitting work, and going dependent on the Gubberment teat (which would suck (!!!) for more than one reason), is there any way to quit “feeding the pig”, and still maintain our dignity (from outside a jail cell)?

      Only if one is wealthy enough to invest in non-taxed state and muni bonds and live off the interest. Or, go off grid and live by barter, foraging etc.

    So…this consulate. Might it be expanded, say to Texas size, so that the secession to a land outside our borders might be accomplished right within them? I like it. No silence. The real Force be with us.

      Curse you, interventor! That was my immediate thought.
      Rebel Alliance HQ might be a bit too blatant.
      The Free Men’s Club, with the bar being the Manumission.
      Or going to the punny side, the Manu Mission.

      That’s two for Double Downs, this here club a dimocracy, or a republic?

      And for that matter, The New Republic (oh yeah, been done, kinda)

        Ummm. . . no, NOT “The New Republic”.

        Yup, like I said, been done and badly, ruined a perfectly good word for a nearly perfect system of governance; actually Old Republic might be better…and “progressive” is another one that the regressives hijacked and ruined forever.
