I live in N. Cal too. Where did you say our nuke silos are?

What you propose was declared illegal by the USSC long ago.

Do you honestly believe Washington, given legal authority prohibitting it is honestly going to just let you walk away without a shot being fired?

What you propose is Civil War- -and you will lose.

Not only that, but- -California? CA went blue ONLY because of San Diego county, LA county, and a strip of counties running along the coast and SF bay from Monterrey uo to Sonoma. Just that small area. So does the rest of the state- -90% of its area that voted for Bush, get to stay with United Red States? Your logic seems to require. Are you going to be content with a bunch of small disconnected pockets spread through the US?

How do you propose commerce among them since the United Red States can and most likely would prohibit Blue State passage through or flying over its territory- -and have the means to enforce it?
