Is it true that a group was organized several years ago promoting
Northern California's secession from Southern California? I frankly
wouldn't blame them.  I mean, LA alone monopolizes the water resources
of about three American and two Mexican states.

Of course, when such a group was organized in Texas to secede from the
US several years ago, it started rounding people up and putting them
on trial and stuff.
