You are utterly wrong. 'Better off alone' means not part of the EU super state that it is becoming. It does not mean 'not part of Europe'. How many times does the UK have to save continental Europe from itself to prove that?
You talk of French dissatisfaction with the EU, you are not the only ones, many EU countries are close to calling a referendum on membership. Britain has lead the way and the others will follow.
The EU is a model based on early 20th century events and is no longer relevant to today. The big mistake the Eurocrats made not allowing the EU to adapt and change. It will suffer because of that, it already is, the UK leaving has put immense strain on the EU. It must eventually adapt or die, anyone can see that.

In light of the Brexit vote and living in the South in the U.S., it will be interesting to see if the secescionists here start a new campaign.. this time via a referendum.

Wait until the Scottish Referendum Part II later this year, so you have something you can point at and say "see?" 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

For Scotland is a breakaway from Great Britian only interesting, when the oil price is high. So dont be so optimistic. Not everybody is profiting from EU. Someone got to pay the bills for the bankster and EU-politicans...

If Scotland and Northen Ireland should both leave, it would make things interesting on the isles.

I was thinking that, too.. E.U. passport to enter Scotland, but then what to enter England from Scotland?

A certain group in Texas has been trying to convince everyone else in the state to secede from the union. The funny part is that all of the states are indeed sovereign countries, but everyone seems to have forgotten that.

Oh, well, if there's a Law that says a State can't then that's it. End of discussion.
After all, Laws are Unbreakable.
Or I am thinking of Bruce Willis? I get the two confused sometimes.

Ok: so how could it happen? Would Gubberner Brown just declare that Kalifornia has seceded and that's it? Whilst all things are possible, some are more possible than others - your sarcasm is misplaced (though amusing).

Brown? Heck no. Wrong persuasion of politician. :p
Not gonna happen any time soon. It would take a lot bigger and more egregious effort at homogenization of the States to really get to the point of doing something other than grumbling.

As well as Scotland, there is Northern Ireland as well having the possibility of a vote to re unite the emerald Isle! I am British and see this as a double edged sword for the Catholic Irish in the North, as if they lose will they get another vote? The same as in Northern Ireland might bode similar to that of Texas situation, in that you might only have one referendum granted!! Rhetorically, why does Texas not have a party like the SNP or Palid Cymru?

This is just the second day I have stopped using smart phone. I have observed that almost everyone is looking something on the phone screen. Even people sitting in a group are not talking. Rather looking at phone.
Even when I had smart phone, I did not buy data*. So there was very little reason for me to take it out, look at something irrelevant or something I had seen already, keep it back in.
*Yes, it is true. I used to buy 25 MB of data when I really needed; which invariably was to book uber. Otherwise, nothing.

I was allowed to take the iPhone 4S with me, when I left the previous company. I would have not bought any smartphone at regular price.
Since then... I don't usually buy data. Don't use FB. Almost no App-Downloads. But I do find useful: Camera, Calender, Reminders and other basic staff like this.
Only thing I use is Whatsapp to chat / speak with my family when I am in Asia for work (I would prefer Threema, but almost noone in my social contacts use it). I have a local prepaid card where I buy data packages.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

I find that a couple of apps are really useful and that I use many times a day.
Twitter, I follow
- Local National Weather Service office and Emergency Management office
- Local news stations, papers, and reporters
- A couple of national news services
- Katee Sackhoff (just because)
- Nathan Fillion (if they ever bring back Firefly, he'll be the first no know)
Robinhood, because who doesn't like trading stock with $0 commissions

I have noticed (compared to others) I really don't use the "smart" functions of my smartphone so much.
I do like having the camera, comes in handy from time to time.
Other than that, I check my mails once a day on it and that is just to clean up the spam / uninteresting mails (I read the others on my desktop when I get home).
And to have music, I refuse to listen to the add infested / nothing but talk radio stations in the car so...
It always bugs me to see people sitting at a table and doing nothing but looking at their phone, I'v even observed people sitting across from each other "talking" by using the phone (chat) rather than their voices.

Mail: laptop
Music: YouTube on laptop
Camera: Irrelevant for daily use. For weekend bike rides, I will need one and will take my Nexus on those days.

I still have one at home. 
Although it is just intercom for the apartment.
