I'm all for a free and self-governed Burnin' Oil. Recent polls indicate that Burnin' Oil is 100% in favor of seceding from the Union. I will, of course, continue to receive the benefits of living in the U.S., since my property is here and I really don't have any viable otions to using public roads, utilities, etc. However, my sovereign self will have no property tax, income tax, self-employment tax, social security tax, etc. and I will govern myself as I see fit. It's gonna be great!

Good, individual sovereignty recognition is the first step.
