On it's current course toward fiscal/social collapse, preemption by secession might not be a bad idea and a more peaceful solution.

Any kind of secession would not be peaceful because the states are divided internally. It'd be one thing if you could find a state where 95% of the residents agree on the same thing, but you can't. Dividing up the US would only weaken us militarily and economically. We're in enough trouble with China and with problems along the Mexican border as it is.

One of the very very few issues I agree with Rick Perry on is secession - he's never believed in it and would never support it, and neither would I.

Stupid palp. If a state(s) secedes it becomes a country where presumably every citizen would STILL be able to vote or LEAVE and live next to you in your state and suck your welfare.
