Some 18% "would support a secessionist effort in my state." <BR/><BR/>The motivation of these quiet revolutionaries? As many as 44% of those polled agreed that "the United States' system is broken and cannot be fixed by traditional two-party politics and elections."<BR/><BR/>http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-ketcham10-2008sep10,0,6298381.storyOld Rebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11146916266682461688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538110527131349279.post-70651864345727964712008-09-10T10:24:00.000-07:002008-09-10T10:24:00.000-07:00One in five people in America advocating secession...One in five people in America advocating secession is not "fringe".Johnny Lemuriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14446524568559409591noreply@blogger.com
