I think it is only natural for people to migrate to places where their morals, beliefs and lifestyles are accepted more openly.
The problem facing the states today is that the Federal government is trying to homogenize the nation and it is impossible. Thus, I truly see within the next 50 years either a break in our nation, (whether it is the formation of differing states/nations or more of a confederacy where the federal government backs down and the states become more open) or the other way a more centralized federal government with few rights for anyone and we become more totalitarianistic, whether fascistic, socialistic or communistic.
In the end it all runs in cycles, and I feel we are reaching a peak in federal power and then we'll see that states and people rebel and the power will be shifted back to the states and peopl.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
