Californians, sore about the presidential election outcome, want to secede. Fine with me. However, they should be reminded, as we in the West so often are, that the federal lands and parks belong to the people of the United States. So do all the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine bases and interstate highways. California also won't be allowed to take with them citizens of the United States who don't want to go. These might be a minority state-wide, but they're the majority in the central and eastern two-thirds of the state. So good luck to you California when you go. You get the Dodgers and Giants and we keep Yosemite and the Colorado River. If you think you have a water shortage now... just wait until after you secede.
