Duane,

I assure you we live in different cultures yet the same country. You are an American and I do not deny you of your identity, but many of us (not all yet) in the "Pacific NorthWest" do not get the luxaries you have nor do we want the system that you cherish. Please hold to your country and let us go. Cascadians will not threaten your borders or take your cars... just let us go. That is all we want from you. Its like a bad marriage.. why would a spouse want to stay in a marriage with someone that does not love them? The wedding was a shotgun wedding when you re-read history. I think it is best for both of our interests to Divorce.. so let Cascadia go.
