Who says it isn't serious? The country is deeply divided and we are in the voting minority. There are only a handful of solutions:

1. Win elections by getting out rational propaganda to red states
2. Create a popular uprising
3. Divide from the red southern states

Does 3 have a ring to it? It sounds an awful lot like the problem in Iraq. If we can't solve Iraq's Sunni-Kurd-Shite-Christian-Muslim mess, how will it go in the USA where neighborhoods are divided house-by-house.

The trick is MEDIA PROPAGANDA that DEFEATS the right-wing radicals before they destroy the USA. Propaganda is everything. Goebbels understood that, we've just forgotten it.

The first BIG FIGHT is the Supreme Court. It's coming really soon as Rehnquist apparently has terminal cancer.

It's not serious. It's impossible. It is the ultimate pouting fit by a bunch of sore losers who value their opinion over the country. It is the worst character being brought out of those who did not get their way.

re Secession:

You might recall that a few years back, a few of us down here in the South had the same thought. It was pretty popular around here, but not so much up north.

Matter of fact, they sorta took exception to it and it lead to a bit of unpleasantness.

Still, never hurts to try again.
