I vote lose it. It was a nice idea, but the whole concept of a free state is an oxymoron, and our entire history has been a two hundred year story of choosing to be a state, and forego the freedom.

If you want to be free, you can’t have states. So, let’s lose the state. All of them.

Sad, but true.

Americans have historically taken the high road, and totally ignored the fact that we built this country on a healthy dose of genocide.

Columbus, Cortez, Custer, Grant, Sherman, Sam Walton and others, all too willing to push their ideas of religion, values, politics and trade on indigenous peoples. And, while they were (are) at it, rape, pillage and plunder at will.

Only five years into the twenty-first century, we are still active in destroying countries and cultures - including our own - for the financial gain of corporations, wealthy people and corrupt polititians.

War for fun and profit. We are good at it. It’s what we do.

Sad, but true.

Those of us who came of age in the 1960’s will remember the far right pushing the concept of, “America, Love It or Leave It.” From the left, came the retort: “America, Change It or Lose It.” May I humbly suggest that perhaps we need to realize that the retort is as true now, as it was then. America, Change It or Lose It.

For the sake of future generations we must change it now. Before we lose it. Any more of it.
