    This has something to do about an article posted a while back. Laser pointers were banned because they could be directed at planes/helicopters and distract the pilots. I think that was the gist anyway...

    Sorry, I can't see that site at the moment. However, I'd guess there's some issue with laser pointers being considered dangerous in Australia and are thus illegal in some way?

    That much I get. How this is related to this discussion is what I'm questioning...

    Before the Civil War, the it was "these United States are," now its "the United States is" -- that's not cool. not cool at all.

    The Constitution was a contract entered into by the several states, who were themselves soverign entities. When one party to a contract no longer honors the agreement, the other party is no longer bound to.

    Northern states, and the Federal Government, were not doing their due diligence or keeping up their end of the bargain, and were actively engaged in policies to undermine the South economically (protectionist trade schemes which would have destroyed the South).

    The Southern States, being soveriegn entities and agreived parties, therefore, removed themselves from the deal. This is not rebellion.

    This Whiskey Rebellion was rebellion. The Revolutionary War was rebellion. The civil war was not rebellion.

    I grew up most of my life in Virginia, but was born in New York and had family on both sides. I'm not interested in fighting the war over again, especially not on /. but the point is -- Lincoln was a little bitch. There, I said it.
