• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

My proposal outlines how to start implementing self-governing areas in America, providing an opportunity for all who desire it to achieve it.

Interesting article. My question is that if the level of decentralization you talk about occurred, do you think it could lead to thousands of micro-states that would war with one another over borders, resources, and ideology? How could you prevent this?

Great question. First, i think the majority of the country would remain the same and not alter their politics, and so remain part of America.

BUT, I do have a more extensive look at this and it includes responding to objections were it to be fully implemented. It will be published in a week and i will post it here.
