Damn the OT thread about secession is closed.
I was going to comment on the petition to split California into 6 states. Since it concerns my home state, I've been following the petition somewhat closely since it first was announced.
But then again, there's been petitions to split California for almost as long as the state has been in existence. See the state of Jefferson.
further discussion can be sent via inbox. and that's all I will say about that here!
sorry mods, feel free to delete/close, etc
