New question.

Is there any way for a state, or group of states, to secede from the union, legally and without creating a war? Because this country is fucking huge, and this means that a huge portion of the population is always going to feel under-represented. Instead of one huge nation, we could have 3-6 smaller ones.

It would be difficult, but I'd rather not live in a country of all people with the same interests.

Better than me having to live under Bush.

There are also many success stories of succession, most notably our own. The entire nation seceded from Britian, remember?

And Britain is like so geographically close to us :)
Remember, if Kerry states secede the other states are larger and much more bellicose. Plus the pockets of conservatives in the blue states would probably stage bloody uprisings.
