Secession Trend Up?

So it's an idea without any discussion.  If we'd been having serious discussions, you'd see different results, IMHO.

First off - THANK YOU...

I think that it's important to determine the specifics.  And also, it bears mentioning that they are not hiding the data.  So I apologize, unnecessarily maybe, to all you statistically inclined folks out there who know that the problems aren't in the math.

But perhaps more importantly, aside from the specifics, it shows that information consumerism has led to a point in public affairs where people can be manipulated, and that is only amplified by ignorance, which we must eliminate, contextually speaking.  Debate has a civic purpose... its chief strength is that it can't be directly controlled without obvious tyranny.  Since the information we receive seems to be in lieu of debate, the debate is 'crafted.'

You are most correct, I think, that if there were a serious-minded discussion or debate about secession, it might just educate us all.  Too bad no one will join me in the debate forum.
