Entry: Sept. 11, 2001: Adrift Among the Dead Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/sept_11_2001_adrift_among_the_dead#4898 Post contents: Since I'm a localist, opposed to vast imperial enterprises and to the modern nation state as an institution, the idea of cascading secessions seems attractive - bring 'em on. This is not incompatible with loose federations to handle common concerns without interfering in local matters. You just need to keep a peaceful opt-out available. As Rich says, "secession is freedom". This would also be an application of the long ignored principle of Catholic social teaching called subsidiarity. Sent at: 2008 09 06
