Should Arizona secede?

To paraphrase the immortal words of James Pettigru, Arizona is too small to be a country and too large to be an insane asylum.

I could see Obama just handing the state over to Mexico if they did and no matter how tough Arizonans are, the Mexican military, drug cartels and organized crime would shred the place. Hell Mexico already has an army illegally living in Arizona.

My regards to Pettigu, but I’ve been to the Vatican which is a sovereign state within the borders of the city of Rome. It’s not insane. It’s small, certainly smaller than AZ, and it’s a country and has been for hundreds of years. The State/Country of Arizona with its own Constitution and its own citizens with the right to bear arms would be formidable.

It could certainly defend itself against the pantywaists from Kalifornia and Nevada, also Nu Mexico. The people in Mexico itself would be too smart to attempt continued invasions knowing they would be obliterated. All problems solved.

AZ is a great place, just very dry.
