Geeez.

Is there a magic number that qualifies as a “long train of abuses” that Jefferson and the Committee of Five were asserting. Was it 23, or 19, or how about 3 really bad abuses?

Nor do I believe the "world" has adopted the Committee of Five's recommendations about how long the list should be. Perhaps to the Flanders, redistribution of their property against their will is enough; I'm in no position to do so and won't. In the end, I'm not Belgium so how would I know? They seem to believe they have enough and they're choosing to exercise their unalienable right to self governance and self determination. You're not wanting to deny them that are you?

If the Flanders want to leave they have every right to unless you believe they need “permission” to leave from their Prime Minister or the Council of Ministers...do you?

I’m sorry the question makes you defensive. I am trying to understand more about the actual conflict. Sorry you don’t know.
