I will try to keep posting an occasional tally of the number of signatures on the ever-growing list of states from which secession petitions have been submitted.
Based on the rate of increase (Texas is closing in on the 100,000 mark), I suspect we will be up near one million before the week is out.
What irks me about these petitions is that those doing the signing are requesting permission to secede. Since when does one ever ask permission in order to break free of oppression? And how likely is it that the oppressor will grant that permission? "Please, mister jailor, would you release me from my prison? Pretty please". Liberty is not a privilege or a favor to be granted, it's a right.
