Believe it or not, Texas is not the only place that has a somewhat leg up in the idea of secession. People are starting to research law and so far it's been uncovered that Rhode Island and to my shock, New York, at the time they joined the union also reserved their right to secede should they choose to do so. On the 3/18 Fox "Freedom Watch" program, Judge Napolitano also pointed this out about Texas, Rhode Island and New York.
Secession is also not a southern thing as there were threats of secession by
northern states not long after the nation was formed. Interesting enough, last July, St. Louis Today ran a
story of Secession and it turns out the idea in very recent years was more alive with democrats upset over election outcomes than it was among republican/rightwing/militia types as is so often the myth. I'm sure the fortunes of elections have tampered those rumbling but I guess now they've in essence, switched sides based on shifting politcal fortunes.
As I said in my original post, I don't think secession in any meaningful way is gonna happen because I don't believe the broader American public has the courage or will to do so. We've become to comfortable being parasites off of each other and using gov't as a mechanism to find us blood victims to feed our vampire appetites. Secession and the possible freedom and liberty that comes with it would require to much work and effort on our own individual parts rather than the current system of other's labor doing for us what we are to lazy to do for ourselves so for now, the idea and talk of secession is at best an awaking that in the future might serve as a way of seperating the wheat from the chaff!
