Humm, they could do what China, Asia and India are doing outsourcing the last wealth builders of Americas legacy with cheap promised labor.

I don't think that Secession is the point of what they are trying to do. I believe it has more to do with preserving the agreed to rights in regard to their State regardless of the Supreme Courts ruling. If the Court rules that gun possession is not an Individual Right, they are contending it would not apply to Montana. Actual secession would be a fools move and I don't think they are being that naive. In fact, I think this is quite shrewd on their part.

I'm wondering if the White House will choose to honor the state seceding if legislation is passed to move forward with it . . . Iraq did not fair as well as it may have hoped when the White House chose not to honor Saddam's defiance (not comparing anything/anyone to Saddam, only using present-day Iraq as an example).

"cut and run" ... seriously.. the Bush vocab rhetoric is the only thing that is tiresome.

Montana is its own FREE COUNTRY .. within a Union that it signed into.. it can leave at any time.

Currently there are secession movements in Vermont, South Carolina, and Montana.

None hold any weight, none will ever make it any where, all three are political PR stunts and will not amount to anything.

However. Never say a State does not have the right to leave.

And don't think all America would support the slaughter of the folks from Montana. The insurrections that would arise would be enough to bring the country to its knees.

According to this article: www.fas.org...

Montana has 535 nukes. That is not a small ammount and the makings for an independant county.

Of course, could they maintain or even use them without Military assistance? I don't know, but I'm sure there are a few clever people out there.

Truthfully, I doubt it would ever come to that and as Dr. Love pointed out I don't think we want it to get that bad.
