My dad had a dog that got fiercely protective anytime a black person wandered into the business. He swore the dog was racist.

I rescued my dog in Texas, after her previous owner (a 90+ year old woman) died. Brought her to Oregon with me when I moved back. We had a Mexican family next door and our dog would bark angrily at the men, but not the children or women. We are fairly certain she was taught to be racist to brown men. That’s my Texas -> Oregon racist dog story.

She then murdered one of my parents chickens.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

Okay, this made me laugh

quote:

"I’ve been a member of the bar for 18 years, …(and) I haven’t heard this much buzz about any subject in the legal community since…we had to discuss the ethical rule about having sex with clients," House member Catherine Coburn said at the House’s October meeting. "There was a lot of buzz about that, but that was a lot more fun than this."

“Things were way better when we only had to debate the ethics of loving clients, this racism stuff is hard work!”

So, what is the point of this? If they do secede, sure they aren't going to be under the thumb of the western urban centers, but most of the state tax revenue would also leave. Are they really going to cut off their nose to spite their face?

I don't have the best grasp on where they want to divide the state but I looked at state tax distributions by county for 2017. I divided the state on the skamania=west, klickitat=east line and west had 28.4M expenses against 3.8M east.

It's not about expenses, its about revenue. King County only gets back like 50 cents of every dollar we send to the state for taxes. But those counties out in the east are spending between 2-3$ for every dollar they send to the state.

Oh I believe it. Sorry, I should have done more work on tax revenues but I have a bunch of work meetings, but I'm always interesting in the internal math on secessionist wierdos.

My point is this is purely performative.
