It ain't exclusively for Texans anymore.

Fanned by angry contempt for Washington, secession movements have sprouted up in perhaps more than a dozen states in recent years.

And on the other side of the continent, Northwestern separatists envision a "Republic of Cascadia" carved out of Oregon, Washington and the Canadian province of British Columbia.

While most Americans dismiss the breakaway sentiments, sociologists and political experts say they are part of a larger anti-Washington wave that is rapidly spreading across the country.

I think this country could be broken into several independent countries in our lifetimes.
