Disturbed by patriotism and other signs of backwardness in his fellow Americans, a Bay-area writer is suggesting San Francisco should secede from the USA. He paints a picture of the perfect state that his fellow lefties could create in this enclave:
• gun control
• socialized medicine
• gay marriage
• instant citizenship for illegal immigrants
• public radio and television
• legalized marijuana
Why go to all the hassle of secession? A socialist paradise of the sort he envisions already exists. It's called Canada.
