[Origanalist]

Secession seems to be rather popular.

[Tywysog Cymru]

I don't think Kentucky is correct.

[Root]

Dirty Jersey, secession??? I think I'm losing it...

[Origanalist]

I don't understand Idaho's.

[heavenlyboy34]

I don't understand Idaho's.

Idaho is shaped like a gun. Why haven't They banned it yet?

If they do I will move there for sure.

I like the secession sentiment. But from the Union or to split into new states?

I'm open to both.

[Dr.3D]

So would we have the libertarian states of America and then the rest?

[gwax23]

I'm open to both.

Same with me. Though if states rights werent dead in this country more states would be better, but the way the federal tyranny is set up now the states have no power beyond expanding the size of government over federal minimums. They have no power to reduce in size and scope.

Ya, funny how that works isn't it? But hey, the people who wrote the constitution must have wanted it that way or they wouldn't be able to do that right?

[enhanced_deficit]

I thought this was a family forum... oh nevermind, these can't be really "deepest desires" of the states.

Yes the supreme court said so so they must be right...because...they wear robes and all.

[ClydeCoulter]

What does "Me" mean, leave me alone?

[nobody's_hero]

I don't know how they figure that GA wants Tennessee weather. It's too damn cold as it is, here.

[WM_in_MO]

Missouri is surrounded, WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR!

[Ronin Truth]

Oklahoma to secede. I'll buy that. Obama didn't manage to carry a single county in either 2008 or 2012.

[CPUd]

This is how they came up with it:

What do states want, deep down inside? What to they yearn for in the dead of night? According to this delightful map from Mashable (http://mashable.com/2014/01/19/google-autocomplete-map)—with a little help from Google autocomplete—the answer is mostly secession. But also some pretty freaky stuff!
A whopping 11 states—including Maryland?—would like to break off from the Union, while Hawaii wants full-on independence, which is what you call it when you are still mad about being annexed instead of just being bored in your civic relationship.
But what state doesn't dream of freedom? Much better to dive into the outliers and weirdos. And there are plenty of each.
The Creepy and BadAlabama: Wants to castrate sex offenders
Mississippi: Wants to ban interracial marriage
Louisiana: Wants to close libraries
The AspirationalGeorgia: Wants Tennessee weather
Virginia: Wants its own currency
Wyoming: Wants an aircraft carrier (!)
The AdorableWisconsin: Wants to be the mitten state
There are a few irregularities here worth noting as well; both Oregon and Kansas want Bama (in football? maybe? but why Kansas?), while Iowa, South Dakota, and a swath of New England apparently want for nothing. It's also important to note that this is the sum total of what everyone is Googling about these states, so there is plenty of stereotyping at work.
Still, what a fun glimpse at the psyche of the ol' U.S. of A. And don't worry, North Dakota. You'll get a new name someday if you just dream it hard enough. [Mashable (http://mashable.com/2014/01/19/google-autocomplete-map)]

Georgia doesn't want TN weather, it wants TN water. Seriously, google it.

[Icymudpuppy]

Apparently Iowa and South Dakota are fulfilled and have no desires...

Ok I as a Mississippian take offense to that statement about wanting to ban interracial marriage. Sure there was poll that said like 46% of Republicans wanted to ban it but if you considered that about 56% of the state is rep. then that makes up less than 13% of the populations opinion. So... no we don't want to ban interracial marriage. Just more of this Southern whites are evil and racist crap.

I wouldn't take it serious, my State Washington, when it says "a say" is referring to this article; http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052970204138204576603221206193838

It's just what pops up in google search, it has no basis in reality.

[Occam's Banana]

The results for California, Illinois & New York are certainly not surprising.

13% on that issue is still pretty bad though... I wouldn't want to live there.

I saw that too. Stupid article.

[Teenager For Ron Paul]

This shouldn't be on the front page.

[Dianne]

If they do I will move there for sure.

In "Strategic Relocation" , Idaho is a top spot; especially in the northern area where the map becomes more narrow. No nuclear plants or military bases that could come under attack in WWWIII. Easy hop-over to Canada if you need to get out. I've seen a lot of really neat, secluded cabins or 9 or 10 acres up that way. But I bet it's cold as a witch's teet.

Secede = Today's word for F government control of one's life.
It either gets smaller, or it gets smaller ;)

Kentuckians take pride in being better than Mississippi.
