I am a *very* firm believer in secession.Although New England is my home and "home" is very important to me I'd move to North Carolina,Georgia or Tennessee if they were to secede.States like California,New York and about a dozen others are irretrievably lost and I'd rather not be continue to be a part of their downward slide.It will be an "amicable" divorce.The Rats despise us just as much as we despise them.
