We are looking to buy a house very soon.. First state to secede just might find a couple new residents.... 
We voted to NOT join in 1812...I mean it took a little protesting to get our point across.IE burning the white house for the second time I think. But you got the point...But I hope it does not come to that..Of course Western Canada has much the same problems with Ottawa and Quebec..Maybe we could just run a line on the map west of Chicago and north California and tell both Federal Governments to take a long walk on a short pier..
