Seceding From The US?

Whatcha think? I'm all for it and have been for the past couple of years. This article discusses the growing movement in Vermont to do just that. Similar movements exist in South Carolina, Texas (ironic, eh?) and New Hampshire. I hear Vermont is beautiful....

An interesting book from the 70s was called "Ecotopia" about a new country formed when OR, WA and parts of northern Cal seceded from the rest of the country. Supposedly someone stole some nukes so they were able to get away with it. The book was interesting in that the author formed his ecologically sustainable breakaway republic using actual experimentation and science at the time so it was quite believable. Oh, and it's president was a woman.

oooh, i'll have to find that book. although the idea of stealing nukes to help create the idea is a bit disturbing.

the whole idea fascinates me. and a female president to boot. would be extra cool if she were native american.
