Over the years I can remember several times when citizens of certain parts of California wanted to secede and become a new state. I remember times when some of them wanted to split off and become a new country. I would be grateful if someone could think of a GOOD reason they were not allowed to go when they wanted to. Failing that, does anyone know how to motivate the San Andreas Fault into action?

Thanks a heap! I live only a handful of miles from the San Andreas fault. In our old house, we had thousands and thousands of dollars damage and it was only a minor fault centered in (actually) Reseda. I woke up in the air at 4:30am that morning. I don't even want to speculate what a San Andreas temblor might do!
