Sanity! by Robert Gore
The European powers will try, but the Brexit vote will be much harder to subvert. Command and control, as embodied by the EU and every other supranational governing institution—and every national government—is under mortal stress, doomed by its massive failures and its incompatibility with the demands of human survival. The proponents of staying in the EU weren’t even saying to the British: give us one more chance and we’ll get it right. They were saying: stay with us and we’ll keep doing what we’ve been doing wrong. Who accepts such a manifestly idiotic bargain? The wonder is that the vote was close, but the fear-mongering status quo mounted a ferocious and extraordinarily mendacious campaign.

Loved the metaphor of... "trying to herd all of Europe’s cats"
I'm undecided about how difficult the exit process will prove to be. The EU might make it difficult because they are afraid of other nations following the UK, or they might make it simple to reduce the damage of the earthquake that has just happened.

The EU has been acting like U.S. Congress.
That's why Great Britian just had to bail.

As usual, R.G. is right on the money. When considering those opposing, one can only think that there may be some motive not readily apparent, since the logic of leaving the EU is as straight lined as is possible. The fact that the Brits never fully immersed themselves in the cesspool that is the EU shows their trepidation from the start. Hopefully they emerged before becoming fully contaminated.

Hope they'll regain their own fishing rights off it's own shores...or do they really have to regain anything...it was theirs to begin with...I'd send out the fleet Today!
Ditto goes for their steel industry; funny, what people or businesses purchase or where it purchases resources has little to do with "trade agreements"...there is nothing stopping me from calling a company in England, Germany or even Russia and purchasing a product. One would only come under scrutiny if you did business with agencies we are at odds with like Iran for instance.
I'd like to see them just ignore any coerced "Punishment" and go about their business.
Now, as I just commented on another post...It's our turn to grow a pair.
I believe we fought a war to bring power home to the people. Despite the statists' and collectivists' assertions, there is nothing but loss of individual liberty and oppression in centralized power. There is much to be said for sovereignty being kept as close to the individual as possible. I find the concept of compartmentalization and division of power rather than centralization to be of benefit across many disciplines and applications. When one small state fails it does not necessarily destroy its neighbors. When one component of your electrical or mechanical device fails it does not render the entire device irreparable. If however everything is integrated the entire enterprise or device is ready for the scrap heap.
The same fate awaits us since we have concentrated power and operation in our "federal" government. We have allowed the collectivist, statists to run roughshod over actual federalism and we find ourselves with a national government. Federalism and state's rights are now nothing but a farce, a chimerical fairy tale of old. If we do not reassert these powers and divest DC from its oppressive tendencies, we shall see factions growing and creating dissolution in ways less than peaceful. Our founders warned us of factions and they wrote our founding documents understanding this and allowing for disparate local conditions and rule. This is something the politicos of today have no appreciation for, but I suspect the day of reckoning will come. We can only hope enough of us find a way to avoid a violent separation in favor of reconciliation, or an amicable divorce.
Respectfully,
O.A.
