Christians look to form 'new nation' within U.S.

"Calling the approval of same-sex marriage in Massachusetts 'the straw that broke the camel's back,' a group of Christian activists is in the beginning stages of an effort to have one state secede from the United States to become its own sovereign nation."

Good fucking grief. Actually, I hope they succeed. A single geographically defined enclave of America at its self-righteous, bigoted worst -- are you thinking what I'm thinking? I'm thinking precision bombing.

(Just kidding, folks.)

Here's another idea: How about a critical mass of genuinely inquisitive and creative people seceding from the US? Imagine: an entire state without televisions. Even better, a space station . . .
