If A State Is Bankrupted By A Nation, Can The State Secede To Protect Its Sovereignty?

With Greece about to take down the EU and California sinking into a sea of debt, when do states/munipalities sever their ties to the mother/father land to protect their future?  Some stories ask me that question:

• States’ Rights Is Rallying Cry for Lawmakers
• State budget issues, 2009-2010
• Evolution of Fairness Driven by Culture, Not Genes
• Pennsylvania Capital Harrisburg Has Bankruptcy Option

As a global citizen focused on macro-level issues, I look forward 20 or 30 years from now when solution providers have seen the full, fresh fruit that grew out of today's endeavour to end the current government funding crisis.

By then, we may have reached the plurality stage where no majority exists in the realm of genetic designation on this continent.  What of the rest of the world?

Basketball's on - will have to check the Book of the Future tomorrow.  Tennessee won the hoops contest and Ireland lost to Scotland - what a day!
