Of course most blue states are primarily made up of red counties counterbalanced by a large blue city. Examples - New York City blue, most of New York state red. Illinois - Chicago blue, almost all other counties red. Ditto with Michigan and Detroit, Washington and Seattle, Oregon and Portland, California and San Fran and LA. Pennsylvania and Philadelphia. Basically the blue base is New England and a dozen large cities. I think people who would like to secede should emigrate and renounce their citizenship. We certainly aren't going to let any would-be seceders take any of our territory with them.

Canada? They have invited us? Where did your husband see that? Do you mean they are inviting states to secede from the union, or for blue state individuals to come on up? I would love to live in British Columbia. However, I looked at their website and getting in is easy only if you are pretty young and have a job skill they need, or you can bring many, many dollars to create jobs for others. Strangely, they do not accept retired Americans at all, no matter how much income/assets they have, which makes little sense to me because retired people put money into the economy while not competing for jobs. On another issue, that of fairly serious fiction reviewed in People magazine, I thought this book by Neil Jordan, the Irish writer and director of The Crying Game, looked nice. I especially love rural Irish settings for books. amazon.com
