Don't you love it. 
We are still contending against the same 'enemy' again, yankee imperialist
in DC. I should contact my cousins who have moved back to Virginia. As
Texans, they may be considered fifth columnist or those just seeking a
fifth. You see some people with large Stetsons and boots, be kind to them
they really are not lost, just trying to be obscure or obnoxious and not
stand out. They do come from San Antonio so please be kind.

Dear John:

There is another contemporary secessionist movement going on in VA with
folks 
proposing to secede from Loudoun County and make the more rural part of the 
county Catoctin County ;-)   They are tired of all the development and want
to 
have no further association with the part of the government that wants to
pave 
the whole county over.  Fortunately, some of the board of supervisors are 
being investigated by the FBI, hopefully that and resident sentiment against

increased traffic and taxes might put a kabosh on unfettered development in
the 
county.  Secession and states' rights are still with us in the 21st century.

Look at the feds vs. the states in CA  and DC for medical marijuana.  And 
history repeats itself.
