I think the fact that approximately 1 out of every 5 Americans thinks they have the right to either form a new state or form a new country makes a rather sad commentary on the state of politics in this country. These people remind me of a child, who when not allowed to be the quarterback in a neighborhood game, will take his/her ball and go home. They are bad sports, who care far more about themselves than they do for our country.
Whatever happened to debate and compromise? Democracy is a messy form of government, and sometimes we must accept that we don't get all (or maybe even any) of what we want. But it is just wrong to tear a state, or the country, apart just because you lost a political fight. The proper thing to do in a democracy is to work harder to get more elected officials who agree with your views -- and if that is not possible, maybe you should reconsider those views and consider why most voters oppose them.
