I guess they will be starting to print their own currency.
Wait til they find out what their tax rate would go up to - postal service, highway maintenance, Federal parks, public school subsidies, a military, health care, immigration control, retirement system, public welfare, etc.

People who form FIRM opinions with so little knowledge only pretend to be open-minded. They select their facts like food from a buffet. David R. Dow
HA, let's see how long it takes them to start becoming illegal aliens trying to sneak into the US. Maybe by then we'll have their much loved electric fences and snipers ready for them.
Aloha Texas, that is Aloha in its 'bye bye' sense.
funny...I never thought the USSR could or would break up but it just took a little piece of paper with the right words on it and...voila! the Stalinist nightmare was over. Wow! So someday the right words might appear on another piece of paper and the USA would be no more. Peacefully. In a lot of ways the South is a burden on the rest of the country, economically and politically and even medically, it would not be that bad to cut them loose. Require everybody who believes in biblical creation to move there and everybody who is there and believes in science to move to the surviving US, it would be a much happier country (or countries). Some day...it just takes that little piece of paper.
I am sincerely ashamed and regretful that some of my ancestors in the south did own slaves. Is there any possible excuse? Really, i don't know, can't say. Owning slaves was common from ancient times: Egypt, Greece, Rome, and it only went away, really, as a result of the beginnings of the industrial revolution. Can holding to a social norm, even though that norm was wrong, be an excuse? I don't know. Is it right to judge social norms of the past from today's perspective? I don't know. Look at how brutal, how cruel, the past was, even in civilized societies like medieval England or ancient Rome, we have come a long way, that should give us comfort, and that is why ever turning back even an inch is a mistake, we do not want to return to the Spanish Inquisition or drawing and quartering people or any of the other horrors of the past.
