This movement is not bizarre, it is 100% predictable if you pay attention to population density and how it affects culture and behavior. These secessionists are liberal vs. conservative, but that is not the root cause. It is rural vs. city.
Nothing on this Earth is as bizarre as Bill Moyers and the people who believe his socialist spew.
Wasn't it kind of like that in the Civil War? If so, things have not changed much.
