The question remains...

...the one evoked by this Chron editorial, that is...

So we find ourselves engaged in this momentous debate. The protesters’ voices and ideas are welcome. But a resolute majority sees things differently.

There are those who say, "work within the system," but what do you do when you're so clearly outvoted? It seems to me that those so aghast at what Rick Perry said vis-a-vis secession would quite clearly have everyone who didn't want the bigger, more intrusive government sit down and take it and everything that comes with it anyway. (Who's calling whom anti-American NOW, Texas Dems?) I've said here before that democracy is a system in which if 51 percent of the people vote to strip away the rights of the other 49 percent then that's just too bad for them. Read that above quote and then tell me I was wrong.
