The Causes Of The American Civil War

Contrary to popular myth and modern opinion, The American Civil War was never about Slavery! Perhaps, the most well informed, well documented, and well written document ever published upon this subject was penned by Patrick J. Buchanan on February 12th 2009. Although, the dividing issues were over matters of Trade, the underlying principles were that of: State Sovereignty, At Will Solidarity [In A Union], and States Rights!

Just as our laws make it illegal to smash someone's knees or to kill them for leaving, "A [voluntary] Worker's Union Membership..." Sovereign States, or Countries, have a Lawful Right to leave All Unions At Will - if they are inherently oppressive! In fact, that was the very basis for the original Declaration Of Independence in 1776... Was It Not? Where, then, is the "Right Of Ascension" - for, any created political body, to ignore "The Consensual Act Of Any Human Being [Or Entity] To Peaceably Walking Away From An Argument?"

Political Candor On The Issue Of Abortion

There is little doubt that, for many Americans [myself included], Abortion is a negative consequence of our ongoing human society, murder of the unborn, and a crime – which is perpetrated daily, on a truly massive scale. It is, however, not the biggest problem currently confronting our society, the ones still living, or even our long-term future on this planet! In the hopes of gathering support for the more far reaching and pivotal issues  - which we must [obviously] confront and face – I would honestly direct your attentions elsewhere in the political interim!

Nothing we can ever say will: bring even one taken-life back, ameliorate the grief on both sides of this issue, or solve our current societal crisis on that matter. As much as, we might hope otherwise, we are deadlocked over this matter! Thus, in the spirit of our ancestors who deadlocked over issues of Free Trade, Institutionalized Slavery, and Societal Discrimination [for a time]; we must first address the reparable issues of our day.
