To Secede or Not Secede, That is the......Really?

According to Webster's Dictionary the definition of secession is to:
1. withdrawal into privacy or solitude: retirement,
2. formal withdrawal from an organization.
The kids definition: The act of separating from a nation or state and becoming independent. Think Circa 1865.

Fast Forward 147 years and there are petitions from people in all 50 states to secede from the United States of America. An action that I like to call, "I Didn't Get My Way So I am Taking My Ball and Going Home Syndrome"

Leading the way - Texas and men. The state of Texas, "We the People Secession Petition", has over 40,000 signatures. Men have out signed woman 62% to 38%.

Most petitions in all 50 states have the same names. People are becoming serial secessionists - signing petitions via cyber-space all over the country. According to an article found in The Washington Times signing these petitions are giving people a feeling of "unity" as they fight against the "Union".

It all seems to be the ultimate Pity Party.

Have you ever seen the movie Moonstruck? There is a great scene where Cher slaps Nicolas Cage and exclaims, "Snap Out of It!" Find a Serial Secessionists and give them a good slap. At this trying time in our country's journey we should be working as one, What was it Aristotle said? "The whole is more then the sum of it's parts."

C'mon people, time to get your heads out of your, Texas's, roll up your sleeves and start thinking about the big picture. Putting the pieces of this beautiful country back together not breaking it apart even more.
