Lifelong Learning Lecture: Why Our Country Should Split Up (And How To Do It Peacefully)
About
This lecture delivers the highly provocative yet carefully reasoned case for secession, arguing that the fractures within the US run so deep, rendering our politics so dysfunctional, that the best way to heal is to initiate a nonviolent national divorce between the blue and red states. The truth is that our nation is broken. More divides us than unites us, and our constitutional framework is accelerating those divisions, making them impossible to cure. Americans already sense this reality. We are frustrated, angry, fearful, and pessimistic about our current condition. More Americans believe we are in the middle of a constitutional crisis than in a democracy. The solution to this maddening impasse is peaceful secession. Once we get through the dissolution, both sides will be better off. Presenter: Kent Greenfield
