It sounds crazy, but a petition for this initiative, known as "Cal 3," has already received more than 450,000 signatures. It's now going to appear on the November ballot of California's general election.
If Cal 3 goes through, it would have major ramifications, and not just for California. So, I called Doug Casey to get his thoughts…
Justin: What do you make of Cal 3? Would you like to see California break apart into three states?
Doug: It's a good idea, in principle. If you're going to have political entities, those entities ought to share a culture, language, religious beliefs, and traditions. In other words, political entities should more closely resemble what Greek city-states once were.
