There is a lively secession movement in Vermont, and one I do not like in northern California and southern Oregon. People in New Orleans are flying pirate flags from their houses in reference to Federal neglect, and Jack Moss has an amusing argument for secession. A friend used to say that South Louisiana should secede and ally itself with the CARICOM, the EU and MercoSur. I used to say silly, do you not realize we would be invaded by the U.S. Army – once again? And that they would win? All of this was before 2005 and I have since changed my mind.
Axé.

That’s related too, like Canada’s claim to Maine. I guess the US needs some refreshing in the continental realms. It looks good, Vermont could export chirp.
the state of jefferson?! Who are these crazies?
I always thought the Bay Area should brake away and call itself “The Lorax”…
A LOT of us changed our minds after 2005. My city is a shambles and the government doesn’t give a damn. At this point, I’m open to all suggestions, even the ones that seemed far-fetched before Katrina.
