yeah, I know. That is where my reference to the Nat'l guard came in.

to explain: the aol guy said "what would you do if i got a group together to push this" and gilmore (i think he was gov. at the time) said "I'd send in the national guard. what would you do about that?"

It won't happen, in either state. They would just have the same problems again and again and we can't just keep adding new states willy nilly. If South Florida seccedes from Florida, they seccede from the United States, they should have to re-apply for Union.

I support this plan...so long as only North FL remains in the United States.

somewhere I read (don't remember) and don't know if its true ... but I remember reading somewhere that Texas has the right to split itself into 5 states if it wants ...

also I always thought there should be Baja California and Alta California ... So. Calif. is so different from No. Calif

I heard something about that a while ago, but back then it was declared false. But, according to Snopes, there's some truth to it.

its true, i learned about it in 7th grade texas history. we did an activity where we divided it into five states, named them and gave them flags and whatnot.
