[quote:Anonymous Coward 1238210:MV8xMzMyNzU1XzIxODk5NjQ1XzkyMDQzNzBC] I think New Jersey should secede. They already think they're too cool to identify with the rest of the country. [/quote]

It's been a subject for discussion for some time, especially since the economic meltdown in 2008.
Even the MSM are beginning to discuss the issue, as the US seems increasingly divided along political, religious, social and economic lines:

If you would like to see your State secede, do you think:
a) It should've seceded years ago.
b) It should secede now.
c) It should secede when further reasons to do so develops.
If you are NOT in favour of secession, how do you feel about others considering this as an option?
Please don't misunderstand and think that this post is meant to be in any way adversarial. I am just curious about what fellow GLPers' thoughts are on the subject.
