What are the chances of Alaska, Hawaii, California, the South, and the Pacific Northwest seceding from the U.S

The only state with a legal right to secede is Texas and that was part of the deal when it joined the union right after the civil war. Any other states would be in essence creating another civil war if they tried. Texas would have problems trying but has the legal option where none of the rest do.

Any of those along the Pacific Ring of Fire, though many are dormant: Hawaii, California, Oregon, Washington, and potentially Alaska.

Subjigating China, threatining Australia and it's Pacific satellities and eventually attacking the United States at Pearl Harbor in an attempt to beat down the United States Navy/Air Force to the point where we wouldn't be able to stop them from conquering all the islands in the Pacific. If we had surrendered or lost, they probably would've conquered Hawaii as well.

All of the above. And all of California (for obvious reasons), Massachusetts and Rhode Island (based on their penchant for electing and reelecting Kennedys.)\n\nAh, f*ck it. That would pretty much eliminate all the blue states.

Four other states: New Hampshire, Montana, Alaska, and Delaware.

USA! I live in the OC, California, and if we broke off and made our own country we would be the seventh wealthiest country in the world. So right there that's only a small portion of the United States.  Money says a lot in terms of power!

Nah, California will someday fall into the ocean.  The sooner the better.

nope. Parts of California are moving basically north and south relative to the eastern part of the state and the rest of North America. Some day a long time from now LA will be at the latitude currently occupied by SF. But the western part of the state won't "break off."

No, California will not fall into the ocean.  The surface of the Earth is covered with a number of lithospheric plates.  According to the Theory of Plate Tectonics, these plates are always in movement.  In the case of California, the Pacific Plate and the North American Plates are located side-by-side.  Movement of the Pacific Plate toward the N or NW would indicate that the lower part of California will eventually slide to the North (over millions of years).  Imagine southern California as a suburb of Alaska sometime in the far distant future!

Some of you may think this is a silly question, but it's really not. There is a trend, especially in Europe, for returning more power to states/provinces. Scotland now has its own government that decides most if not all of their domestic affairs. Catalonia in Spain wants independence. A few years ago Quebec came very close to leaving Canada. The fact of the matter is, culturally, the southern part of the U.S. is just really different then the northeast and western parts of the United States. Take a look of a map showing where the "red" states are and the "blue" states. See a trend? Just think about it; wouldn't a lot of you blue state folks be happier joining Canada in some great big socialist experiment?
