    Though I was on a secession kick for my particular blue part of the US a while back, and as tempting as the idea remains, I’m worried that splitting up the country would probably sink the world economy. What would happen to the US Dollar, which is the world’s reserve currency? How would you divide up the national debt? How would you divide up the military? etc. Fun to think about, but probably not a great idea.
