Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Yep, not anymore. Same with Lake. We lived there for about 10 years, in Gurnee, before Palatine. Lake was red when we moved there, and blue when we left.

Sure you can. You can move to another country.  I cant think of a state law in Texas that makes me want to escape.  Now California is another matter. So many weird laws exist in California that yes I would consider moving from there.

But rather then trying to hide from a state law why not change the state governing body.  Its called democracy

It's all democracy, at the national, state, and local level.  I'm jut advocating for the smaller bubble of it.  
I could make the case that stopping at the state level is lazy.  No state of any real size/population is even 60/40 on big issues.
But individual communities/towns/counties can easily be more homogenous in its ideals and values.  
Why should 80% of Austin have to be outraged every time the Texas legislature comes up with another bad idea?  

County level will represent a population better than state level, just as state level is better than national level.
It simply changes things from "can't do it" to "can do it one town over" for many things.  

I just don't see the downside.

Lulz.  Terrible example.  Austin voters are the absolute worst.  Complete morons.  The only outrage they ever experience is when somebody tries to block them from emulating the absolute idiocy embodied by the dunce voters of San Francisco or Portland or Seattle.  And even then it's just faux outrage because hipster doofuses are incapable of feeling real emotion.

Beyond that though, I agree with you.  Important matters that affect the day to day lives of citizens should be pushed down to the lowest possible level of governance.

Was just picking a blue dot from a sea of red.

I hear ya.  Like I said, I agree with you in principle.  And what you're advocating actually exists, to a certain extent.  I was able to leave Austin and go one town over and experience a much higher quality of life.

Done.

I used to ponder impracticable ideas and concepts a lot in my youth, waste of time basically, I decided later on.

Might be OK to pass the time, over a camp fire or somesuch.
