Not a chance. You'll never break up or away from the USA. If you move to Greenland your boy will buy or take it. What's Denmark going to do about it? You will rent his golf carts for his secret service boys to use whether you like it or not.

either you're truly stupid or just messin' with me: I'm thinkin' you're truly stupid

"You'll never break up or away from the USA."

Won't have to if the bulk of Americans vote for smaller government (locally, state-wise, nationally). Again: Without a shot fired, without a square foot annexed, minarchy might happen (right here, in my town, your town, his town, her town).

Think on it, stupid: you wake up one mornin' livin' in a minarchy. You'd worried about the shrinkin' government for a few years but -- like a good boy -- you'd trusted the folks who 'know better' to get a'hold of the problem. But they'd didn't, and government shrank and pretty much everyone but dips, dinks, losers, and twerps liked it small.

I'm cryin' for you in advance...mebbe Bernie can comfort you.

Not a chance in hell, they might downsize but will never change to a bunch of weak defenseless mini targets.

government across the board will shrink

I guess because your savings account is Federally insured and you're getting Social Security? I suspect any minarchist who touches those rails gets burned pretty good.
