Came across this article, arguing that California should succeed from the Union. On the face of it it's a good idea. The state is clearly on a different ideological page than the rest of the nation. They have tough environmental laws, they've legalized marijuana, and they've declared Abortion legal forever. Heck, they are so liberal out there, even as the rest of the nation voted Republican, California elected the straight democratic ticket.
And the numbers add up. California is the worlds 7th largest economy. They got food production and a lot of industry.
But it does smack of giving up. It is saying that the differences between us are so great that we can't get along, and trying to get along will be futile. I believe that the things that draw us together are still greater than the things that separate us. We all want to see this nation strong and great and just.
