[QUOTE="contango, post: 61965041, member: 265412"] That certainly does sound like an interesting paradox, although I tend to find it's easier to respect someone's convictions when they go against their own self-interest. Quite possibly so, although to suggest that secession would automatically herald a return to the dark ages sounds like little more than hysteric ranting. Even if it would result in a state becoming poorer it's not necessarily a bad thing if that's what the people want. Taking an extreme example, if enough Amish voters were present in one state it's entirely possible they would do very well even if the road network fell apart, public schools closed due to lack of funding and Medicaid dried up.
