11 counties to vote on seceding from Colorado because it's too liberal

[Syt]

Yeah, democracy sucks ass, alright.

Oh, it's great, as long as the majority agrees with you.

I'm always split between outrage at the grave injustice that was stealing the western counties from the Commonwealth of Virginia and the fact that I'm mostly glad the people west of the Appalachians aren't part of the State at present.

Was it really an injustice though?

Good for them. Colorado used to have a good balance of hippies and normal people. Now there are way too many hippies that have moved in.

Sounds like the "normal people" are whiny magical-thinkers.  Colorado definitely has too many of those.

They still have plenty to go around in Virginia as it is.  Everybody south of Frednecksburg.

I don't see how it wasn't, the Constitution prohibits dividing States without the consent of the State involved. Right there in Article IV of the Constitution. Virginia never approved the splitting off of the western counties.

Inter arma enim silent leges.  When Virginia took up arms against the law, they got what they deserved.

I believe that Virginia did approve, post-war.
