All right, as a Californian, I'd like to point out how fucktarded this movement is:
- Ever since the Civil War, secession is basically illegal without the consent of most of the states. Aside from the most hyper-partisan of partisans, I doubt that America would love to see it's biggest money-maker pick up their ball and leave
- Within California, there's a huge political divide between the liberal, urbanized coast and the conservative, rural interior. (And even then, that's too broad a generalization--Orange County and San Diego are coastal areas but have a history of conservatism, while Davis in the rural interior could best be described as "Portland if Portland constantly smelled like cow shit")
- This movement is essentially a knee-jerk temper tantrum by Silicon Valley elites (or "Muskovites", as I call them) who think that their "rugged individualism" makes them natural elites.
- We elected Arnold Schwarzenegger, we have no room to talk!
I will, however, ask them one request: have the national anthem be California Uber Alles.
