So when some of us do secede, what will you do?

"Some of us"? Can you be a little more specific?

States secede, not individuals. Even if you and all of your friends got together and decided to secede, that would not be enough. You would have to convince the majority of citizens in your state to go along with the idea.

Do you honestly think you can convince the majority of citizens in any state to vote for secession?

It would be better to work to reclaim the culture and institutions of the United States than to waste time and effort on unlikely schemes such as secession.

I believe that there are a few states that will become more amenable to secession in the coming years. I firmly believe that the US is too big, too diverse, and too divided to function as one nation, and I think the toothpaste is too far out of the tube to be replaced.

That is my question, what state would secede? In the 1850s it was pretty clear to everyone where the dividing line might be if hostilities were to break out. I do not believe a war is coming, but I wonder what is the breaking point. What would be to much for me? Would it be healthcare, amnesty, cap and trade, or something far worse and unspeakable.

I do not believe there is a dividing line, we are all in this together, and need to confront this together. We need to get organized fast though.
