32. I used to think this could never happen...
But now I really think it could. The divide between the "sides" is growing greater by the day and there doesn't seem to be much common ground. If 9/11 couldn't bring us together for very long (I think the divide has gotten greater since) then I'm not sure what will. Plus, the states (conservative states in particular) are more and more asserting their independence and thumbing their noses at Washington. Add this to the rapidly changing demographics of this country and the associated change in voting patterns and I can realistically foresee a state/states at least asking the federal government for secession.
