I, for one, am pretty dedicated to Cascadia.

I don't consider myself to be a citizen of the United States of America anymore. I haven't, for years. At best I am a citizen of Oregon, formerly Nevada and California. I didn't grow up in the US, and to be frank, I don't feel that anyone east of the Cascades or the Sierra Nevada in any way is someone I would consider to be part of the same union of ideals with me.

I have a younger sister who has been a citizen since 1989, but she has brown skin so I am very very concerned about her re-entry in April. She's been vacationing in Japan, Vietnam and Bali since November (some of that time with me, her big white het bro).

I don't think I want anything to do with a country that is arresting people who are indigenous, who can rightly call all the rest of us illegal immigrants. I don't want anything to do with a country that spends most of my taxpayer money murdering innocents in lands I have never been to.

I don't want anything to do with this country of the free, of the brave, or so we are told and indoctrinated to think.
