How far do you take secession, badgenome?

State, district, town, neigborhood, street, house?

All of those. The impracticality of the Sovereign Nation of Elm Street or the Most Serene Republic of Mr. Brown's House aside, in principle there's nothing wrong with either of those as far as I can see.

I agree it is a fine principle , the trouble is as you mentioned the further down you go the more impractical it gets . still it can be said the more centrist  a government is the more out of touch it becomes,  I remember reading a book many years ago probably from my best friend  it was talking about where the Russian revolution went wrong and the concurrence  was it happened when the local village councils or what ever the Russian equivalent is called handed  over power to Moscow , i know it's not about secession but it shows how even the left of politics see  trouble in a centralised system so it can work both ways.

I think the problem in America and some other places isn't whether secession is good bad or ugly but the fact it is unlawful  and when that happens it makes it hard to negotiate for a peaceful solution and only raises tension.

Having talked about secession being unlawful is that really the case today legally? ,  In Lincon's case didn't he threaten to imprison the  head of the supreme court for alluding to the fact that it may not be unlawful at all . , so has the constitution been amended since , or was  the head of the supreme court wrong or is it still going along on the fact that Lincon disallowed any legal challenge .
