Reddit mentions of Better Off Without 'Em: A Northern Manifesto for Southern Secession

There's an interesting book on this subject (ok, not just California but still an entertaining read.)

Aren't those who support the losers, losers?

You could mail him a copy of the following:

Or send him a copy of:

Either will be worthwhile reads for your own sanity. It grates on me becasue our families did something NO ONE IN HUMAN HISTORY HAD DONE: we were the first people, along with England to outlaw human slavery. Hundreds of my family gave their lives and their health to make sure this happened.

You aren't the only one.

Actually, not by a long shot.

I recently finished the book Better Off Without 'Em: A Northern manifesto for Southern Secession and I highly recommend it. This article was a scant outline compared to that book, but it did hit some of the high points.

After having grown up in SC, living in the People's Republic of Oregon for several years, and now ensconced in the Northeast, I can safely say that the South really is a separate country from the rest of the US. All that really remains is to make it official.

I don't know if it's at all possible, but that part of the country is stubbornly holding a lot of social progress hostage. I'm all for it, myself.
