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.
