Not for me, thanks. The US is my country. All of it, not just this piece. I don't want to have to go through customs to visit my mother, or my friends in Connecticut, Philly, and California. I'm not a fan of state's rights, to tell you the truth. So often they seem to me to come at the expense of individual rights, which the Federal courts protect.
Plus, frankly, they strike me as kind of outdated -- artifacts of slow travel and lack of instant communication. Especially here in the East where the states are so small that a couple can live in one and each commute to a different other, I don't want my own rights to change as I move around my ordinary days according to where I happen to be standing.
