I thought we were beyond this. I just filled out a Zogby Interactive survey (yes, I know, they are mostly worthless). Much to my surprise, tucked in with all the thinly veiled partisan talking points, was a "do you think states should be able to peacefully leave the union". Yes, secession. I thought we were past this. Everyone knows that Perry is a nut. Everyone knows that secession is a electoral, political, and logistical impossibility. So why ask the question?
