are. Also- lol at both sides taking this as initiative to blame the other for our current state. "But working together is what has made the United States Of America the richest and most powerful country in the world." Last I checked America is the brokest country in all of history. But that's beside the point. Secession is legal and possible. Though it will take a Secessionist Congress where articles of secession are filed state by state. Nonetheless its a catch 22. The government would never sanction or acknowledge a Secessionist Congress. But likewise they probably wouldn't send troops into every state that filed articles of secession. So it would likely be a moot gesture all around. The only way this might carry some relevance is if strategic states (seaports, coasts, rail lines, commodity goods, missile silos, etc) chose to secede. Then the government might be forced into some preventative or conciliatory measures. Ultimately its much to do about nothing. There are much simpler measures that could fix our problems significantly. With most people asleep at the wheel on the little things, I don't see mass secessions looming... Looking at the last election it is easy to see why we are so divided. 62 Million voters voted for President Obama, 59 Million voted for Romney. 62 Million people think one way 59 Million people think another. A difference of 3 Million people, in a country of 300 Million. Why are we so divided? It comes down to leadership. Both Parties
