“Who REALLY cares if they do go?”

Every American should care, including you.

If you don’t care, you don’t understand the gravity of such a move on the entire country. I’m a proud Southerner, but not for one moment do I believe that Lincoln made the wrong decision in insisting that the Union be kept together. I absolutely believe that he had no choice but to do so by force.

THAT is why you should care.

I can think of hundreds of ways that this could go wrong if we accepted your “who cares” premise.

It is your sort of passive-aggressive nonsense that is most caustic to the Union. Use your head, man. It’s a bad idea to let ANY state flirt with secession.

I could not agree more, RFEngineer. Well said.
