You Say You Want a Devolution? by Robert Gore
The Brexit vote is more important than the US presidential election because whoever wins in November will be chained to the failing US government, while the British have an opportunity to shed some of their chains. Regardless of who wins in the US, the government will not relinquish its resources, power, or corruption. Centralization has advanced so far and so destructively that every expression or potential expression of a revolutionary desire for devolution—the transfer of power to lower levels and smaller subdivisions—is to be welcomed, be it Brexit or other countries leaving the EU, various separatist movements within countries, or mass disobedience to the dictates of centralized governments. As the Brexit vote and electoral insurgencies in the US and Europe make clear, the underlying pressures continue to build. Something’s got to give, and when it does, decentralization and devolution will give those seeking liberty a rare opportunity to build the kind of society they’ve always envisioned.

If only the formerly sovereign states had the guts to make the rational demands that the southern states did.
Unfortunately, Lincoln and the GOP maneuvered the south into war with malice aforethought.
Thomas DiLorenzo explains the process excellently in his book, Hamilton's Curse.
If you want to understand how liberty was lost in America, it is recommended reading.
Good one Robert.
Revolution is one of the songs my old band played in the early '80's.
Unfortunately I no longer know that it is gonna be alright.
No coincidence that Mad Men was so popular.
Its also generates memory ties to the article for those of us old enough to remember that music LOL. Clever...marketing?
I almost gave you a minus 1 though for the malice aforethought of the title. Now I have the chorus of that Beatles song going round and round in my head.
That was cruel...very cruel.
