Peacefully allow Nate Silver to determine the chance a group of morons will have the legal sophistication to secede

Created by J.B. on November 13, 2012

Given that Nate Silver has correctly predicted the outcome in 50 states in the past election and 49 out of 50 states in the 2008 election.

Given that Bayesian Statistics, and Monte Carlo Markov Chain Simulations provide a fairly accurate assessment of probabilities

Given that a large percentage of the American population is amused by trivial statistics. (hereto forth called the provision of "giggles")

And given that a proportion of the American populace suffering from cognitive dissonance actually believe that signing an online petition with the legal sophistication of a 6th grade "we're super best friends" pact will somehow create a "new Nation-State"

We request... nay DEMAND that Nate Silver be compelled to calculate their odds of success. (With fancy visuals!) peacefully...
