Civil War, Part II

[kandrathe]

I've been looking into an interesting trend in the legislatures of a number of States, which seems to have brewing over the past decade or so. By demographic, it seems to be the Red states are joining the neo-confederate uprising, leaving the left coast, California, and Minnesota as the Blue, neo-union. But, I'm not sure California, with its looming bankruptcy, and extreme libertarian drug laws will be solidly in the new union. :)

Of course, I probably wouldn't need to comment that I am certainly in favor of political action moving to a more State or local level, rather than the poorly conceived, one size fits all, poorly (un)funded Federal programs we've (US citizens, etc.) become dependent upon.

Seriously though, with the budget deficits proposed over the next 10 years, and with the emerging realization by the citizenry of what that means, I'm predicting that this is only going to become a bigger, and bigger issue as more people, and States revolt.
