I'm confused. Are you suggesting that political subdivisions have no right to divide or separate from their larger entity? Isn't that the whole reason the United States was formed in the first place? I seem to recall that a lack of representation started that whole mess in the 18th century.
The whiny counties in Northern California have far more in common with the whiny southern states of 1861 than the colonies in 1775. The first two have as much representation as any other population in the country. (some would say the Southern States had MORE due to counting slaves for members in the house) The colonies lacked representation in Parliament and in fact didn't want it... they valued independence over representation. If the Northern California counties wish to declare a revolution and take to arms like the colonies did in 1775 let them have at it. You fight for separation- from the Crown, Union, or state, you don't whine for it. :roll:
I can't help you with your confusion, you seem hell bent on staying that way... eace
