the 1st time succession was more along geographical, and industrialized lines. If it happens again I would bet that Texas would not be the lone star in the amount of states trying to suceed, and the battle if the Union wished to take the fight against other states again would be fought on multiple fronts, in multiple states against multiple sucession causes.

thank you grammar nazi.
I knew I had it wrong but was hoping the smart folks here would knew what I meant.
Why not put forth your reasons why states are not going to sucede, as you are so sure of yourself. Oh I get it, maybe attacking is all you got?

I just cant spell for shit, its not about having an idea or not.
I didn't realize I presented an argument.
heaven forbid someone make a crazy claim in the coffe house of all places. I would be happy to discuss this topic, but I dont know how anyone here could assume I was being serious about the State of Texas being a future world power, I mean they have too many mexicans in Texas for that to happen [once again more sarcasm before the racist labelers get their panties in a bunch, not that mexican is a race though].

No state will reasonably attempt to secede the United States in teh foreseeable future. Regardless of reactionary fearmongering and bleating about higher taxes (for the ultra-rich), no matter how loudly they screech about so-called expansion the the Federal government (well, unless somebody they like is in charge), there is no state in the Union that honestly thinks they can make it on their own better than with he rest of the US.
Those people in Montana are crazy enough. They threatened under Dubya, and now under Obonogo. If you touch their guns they are gone. Frankly your idea about who is in charge is irrelevant, unless there is another party out there that I missed, that the state of Montana votes for.
I bet Alaskans think they can do better alone. If they succeeded and nationalized their oil resources, they could be the richest people in one of the wealthiest nations on the planet, and Oil is just one of many resources they would have to make it on.
The Hawaiians probably still want to be alone even today, I am not sure they really even identify themselves with Americans. I’m not sure if they could make it or not, but I think they would put up a decent attempt.
There that is 3 states out of 0 possible (No state according to you).

yeah i did type that. so that comment is so rediculous, yet you still haven't said anything to the contrary. Nuk if you buk!?!
yeah your debating skillz are too 1337 for me [sarcasm]
thanx for the tip [sarcasm]. I knew you were a grammar nazi to bad when you corrected me for misspelling you misspelled the word states, which was hilarious. So in correcting me on spelling and saying I cannot be taken seriously I guess since you spell the word states, as staes, I cannot take you seriously either. Get over yourself d00d.

I'd love to hear your argument supporting the idea that staes are going to secede.
Why not practice what you preach? Or is it do as you say not as you do?
Busted.
I’m a born and raised F.I.B. I will never care what someone in Wisconsin thinks of me, or whether they take me serious or not.
