Having to give consideration to a independent Confederate States of rednecks and service industry fatcats on our shore does not suit that aspiration.Indeed, and that was all I was commenting on. It just seems odd to me to call something the "united states" if states are forced by law into being "united". If they are in the union voluntarily (which as of today, they are), then all is fine. Secession from the union should be as legal as joining it.
I'm certainly not in favour of secession; I don't think any state would benefit from it at this point. I just think it should be an option.
