Uhhh, crime is NOT equally distributed throughout any state, duh! Itā€™s 100% dependent upon WHERE one lives within a state. Not all towns in NJ are equal.

Thereā€™s a difference. Villages, counties and cities are creatures of the state. The Federal Government is a creature of the state and the people rather than the other way around.
All the arguments in the world make no difference unless enough people in the country agree to allow states to leave, which I see no sign of happening.
The Supreme Court wisely decided after the civil war that states could not leave, at least partially influenced by realizing any other decision would have resulted in their immediate impeachment.

Alaska is safer and Iā€™m guessing much more scenic and smells eons better.

You missed his point. Which would you rather: live 20 miles from a murderer or live on the same block or maybe even in the same tenement building with them? Which would make you feel safer?

esp near the oil pipeline leaks.

so how did the unfortunate 49 meet their demise in alaska?

seems to me. distance doesnt matter in murder.

Well looks like secessionists will just ahve to wait until they get some more folks on their side.

Well, darn. Iā€™d give 'em Texas today, if I could.

Sure- libs would win the presidency every cycle and theyā€™d lose two senators and some reps in congress. OK.

some republicans politicians are almost complete deaf.

just like some dems.
