We’re both the same age and we’re both starting to think that within our lifetime we’ll see some states leave the union. Some of the flyover states. Oklahoma will be one of those.

Would that I had access to your crystal ball ;^)

Me, I don't have a clue. Our country has been heading in the wrong direction at an increasing rate for so long I was beginning to wonder if anything could slow it down or stop it. The States may in fact be our last and best hope. What will happen if within the next year or two there's a showdown between some of the States and the federales? The landscape could change so much over the next few years, I don't know if anybody will be able to call this one in advance -- even with a crystal ball...

What would happen if a handful of fly over states just decided to be a separate union. Paying no federal taxes. None, nada. If they sent a letter to the Obamanation saying "we're out of here. If we decide we need any of your services, we'll negotiate a fee for purchase agreement at that time."
