Good, as long as those decisions are not coming from 1500 miles away!

+1 for the British people. They understand that without borders, you don't have a
country. Democracy is a messy thing for those who wish to minimize it.

I got off work early, and sipping on some Newcastle to celebrate their independence.

Good for the Brits, fighting back against Collectivism.

"our lifetime" I am lol. I remember when that EU shit started. I went to England, Germany and Holland before there was ever a EU.

Scovie's right. England was fine before the EU, they'll be fine after. The funny thing about these goofy socio-economic experimental unions.... they need a rich host country to suck dry. Without the host, the parasite dies. Now cast your eyes to our hemisphere and see what's happening here.... we're becoming the host.

True. The three biggest countries have been doing the work while little countries like Greece have been nursing off of those teats. Once Germany and/or France bails, the EU will only exist in the history books. Within a year, maybe two.

word

Brexit to be followed by Grexit, Departugal, Italeave, Fruckoff, Czechout, Oustria, Finish, Slovakout, Latervia, and Byegium.

LOLOLOL

Given how utterly corrupt and broken the US federal government is, perhaps Texaseced, Arizoutahere, etc. will be next?

local government is actually more corrupt. always has been, always will be.

there is no way that local goverment can be more than the massive corruption at our federal level lol

LOL! Geonerd! Gonetana, Cantifornia, Novada, Byedaho, Coloradno, and of course, Oregone.

lolol

Winner so far, "Oregone."

no its way more common in local government.

it tends to get worse the smaller the government is, as there is less oversight and fewer redundant positions where theft and embezzlement and bribery can be detected. audits are less frequent, and its more likely for government officials to know each other and collude to rig bids, over charge etc.

Athens, Tennessee, 1946. Local politics are big time crooked.

holy shit. ive NEVER heard about the "battle of athens" before. very interesting read on wikipedia... holy hell.

There are a lot of folks who have never heard about it. It's the ultimate "Why we need the 2nd amendment" story. It's a very important piece of American history that they'd rather not talk about.
