Tell that to the IRS.

No thanks. Like Zinc keeps pointing out they have a disparity of force, and I have to do what they say or end up dead.

Still doesn't make the relationship consensual; it's coercive.

The Revolution was more than 200 years ago. Geez freaking look at the news. Modern civil wars are more like the the Yugoslavia breakup, Sudan, and wars in El Salvador and Nicaragua.

And as there are extremely few Secess it would be much more like Waco. You would be considered terrorists and treated like such.

Why leave out Czechoslovakia? Is it because it successfully split up into the Czech Republic and Slovakia without a Civil War?

ok thats cool. Must suck for Oklahoma and New Mexico being underwater though. But then again, its New Mexico and Oklahoma...

Because one didn't start there and each wanted to be its own country.
