T is for Thought For The Day, Being This Day, The 4th of July!

It struck me that just as Brwreakshit gave succor to the Scot's new push for Indy-Ref' II, so the language of the Declaration of Independence of a certain bunch of armed terrorist insurgents (for that is what we call them when we think we are the 'good-guys') could give succor to those States which want nothing of the new, post-Trump, pro-gun, anti-healthcare, Church-driven America with its new, all-political Supreme Court?

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

Seems clear to me . . . if you don't like the politics you've got, go and do something else - with the blessing of the 'Founding Fathers'!

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for fair-minded, liberal states to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with a Federal shitfest and neo-Nazi neighbors, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes (fascism, sexism, racism, 3rd-world penitentiaries and a para-military police) which impel them to the separation.

You see, while certain Morlocks and Yahoos pay so much heed to the original constitutional document (or a certain later amendment to it), a document which had nothing for, nor mention of; women, children, slaves or the natives, they don't seem to want any other amendments which might better reflect modern life!

On the subject of Scotland, apart from the likes of Tuvalu and the Falklands, Gibraltar and the Channel islands, it's only the other three members of the Union still in the rump of blood-soaked Empire, high-time they had their independence and us arrogant English were given the final lesson in humility, after all; the numerous previous lessons (Hong Kong the most recent - if you ignore Brwreakshit) haven't worn our sharp-edges down yet!

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Mercedes, Pepsi, Disney, Craft or Unilever don't care where the boarders are, what colour you flag is, or who claims control over either, they will still get their products to the local stores. Anyone who wants Independence should have it, including the Basques, Catalonia, Walloonia or the Pirate's Republic of Kernow!
