California isn't going anywhere. Last time a state tried to secede, there was this whole civil war type thing.

Thats not happening.

Basically, looking it up. It looks like Californians are simply unwilling to accept the laws of the nation. If that's how far it goes, then why wouldn't they try to secede? What do they care for the law?

They? I live here, I would know. Californians are a mix of every nation on earth. They are all busy chasing the dollar and forming their own island communities, making it more like "Home".

Dildos and joints? Why not send the Scientologists to convert them?

In reality, the Cartels would be the first ones invading. Hell! They're already half way in there! They'd take all the prime Northern Cali grow areas, then set up there super meth labs around joshua tree.
More prime coastline for the cia to bring drugs in, and a giod way to circumvent that supposed border wall.

In reality,what a lame scenario,thinking the US and Mexico attack their mainland,another dreamer,if Calif was to leave,the federal govt would lose about 500 billion a year,you think that is going to happen? biggest source of revenue would put mid west and south back to the 30's,most states provide hardly anything,can't lose your cash cow

First of all where exactly are they going to get all the water they need from?

No, Cali gets alot of its water supply from the Hoover dam.

"some 19 million Californians, nearly half the state’s population, receive some part of their water from the Colorado River, which flows into the 80-year-old reservoir created by Hoover Dam outside Las Vegas."

Actually 13 of them seceded. And it took a war to reconcile the differences, for the most part.a reply to: intrptr

Cali has lots of oil/sunshine/wind. They could get by with natural resources and import what they need. Do you think big oil is going to shut off the money if they have a customer?
