I would argue... you aren't... instead simply splitting things in regard to personal preference... which is generally the problem.   Your more or less picking which civil rights you view as valid. 

Using your logic, everyone is going to have their own opinion on the validity of such things.

Simply put, you don't think Texas should cede, because you feel like they would do things you don't like.  That's the bare bones truth of it.

The only "right" i take umbrage with are certain property rights (including guns, intellectual property, and certain issues of wealth transfer), otherwise i'm in favor of more rights, and not fewer, and feel that those secessionists would likely restrict certain lifestyle and belief rights, as state legislative evidence suggests

Even if that's so... that still completely proves my point.

You don't give a shit about property rights, therefore you don't consider the restriction of property rights a valid reason for leaving a country.  This stance is based soley on your own hangups and opinions.

 

I am cuirous though what you think about the big movement to leave that you left out.  Scotland leaving the UK.

I'd be against it, largely because it makes no sense and posts no real gains for the Scots. Belgium is the more interesting and complicated question.

And its not that i don't give a shit about property rights, it's just that i feel capitalism has helped put those rights outside the bonds of usefulness and into the realm of counter-productivity. Intellectual property rightsholders have too much leeway in the current system, and people have sums of money far too great for them to make any positive use out of.

It's all about utility at the end of the day.
