If I lived in CA I would want to secede too.  Wait until you have to deal with the $5m per person reparations at a zillion dollars to the budget, oh and probably tax-free.  Just today in the news CA wants to clear the prison of all rapists and murderers and give them a pathway to freedom.  My state is too liberal for me, but I love Chesapeake Bay steamed crabs, snowballs, the Orioles, Terps and Ravens.  Can't move.
