I think it's more likely that we can make positive changes happen on environment and military issues if states begin to secede. I don't think it's question of personal lifestyle preference or some sort of parochial identification with your state. I think it's an absolute moral demand that something be done to create a government with some power that can be controlled by the residents of its territory.

It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.
