A Petition for California's Secession from the Federal Government

Heh! This makes complete sense to me.
- Schwarzenegger could become 1st Emperor of California without the messy business of needing an Amendment to the Constitution first.
- Hollywood could fight the IT industry directly without having to go via DC
- California is already one of the top 10 countries by GNP
- It already has ample natural resources including oil and gas
- It would be free to open it's borders with Mexico and exploit migrant workers openly.
- Most of the rest of the USA would say "Good riddance to Munchkinland"
- They could legalise gay marriage (and any other strange sexual relationships) without upsetting the Evangelists.

But really this doesn't go far enough. They should encourage the other states from Alaska, through British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Baja Mexico to seccede and join them to form a new nation of PacifiCa. Then the fight for title of Emperor could be between Arnold and Bill(Gates) (With Larry Ellison on the outside). And between Hollywood, IT, Microsoft, Boeing and leasing military bases, they'd have no problem with balance of payments. There's even probably a good business to be made by providing outsourced Correctional Facilities to the rest of North America.

Vote Seccession! You know it makes sense! [from: JB Ecademy]
