Calax Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Kalfears WvE problem makes me wonder what the heck would happen to america if Cali, Oregon,Washington, Nevada, Airzona, and Idaho Made their own sessession. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Remember what happened last time a few states tried to seceed? The US is like a mafia family. As Tony Soprano would say "once you come into the family, there is no gettin' out". <{POST_SNAPBACK}> cept that california is currently the worlds fourth largest economy on its own. And all the eastern states would no longer have easy access to far east companies. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

It'd be a bit more costly, but both the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal were created for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was something like between 10th and 7th depending on who you ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard Dog Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Okie dokie. Sounds pretty reasonable. I just wish at time that I could take the best elements of both Republicans and Democrats here in the US and form a composite party. As you say a party that is fiscally responsible yet doesn't allow archaic ideologies get in the way of social progress. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We already have one Sand, the Libertarian Party. I am a card carrying, voting member and I've even run for office once.

metadigital Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Those who tend to follow the conservative path never seem to be all that progressive. Here in the US we have great tools of medical research and scientific advancement in genetics that can lead to cures of many horrible diseases. Who is in the way of this? Conservatives, mostly Republicans, who think that an unborn life is more important than the life of someone suffering, yet have no problems in condemning prisoners to execution and send soldiers to die for worthless causes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's because Republicans (being one of only two parties that can take office) just happened to be the party that fundamentalist religious groups sided with; they couldn't very well side with the libertarian Democrats, even though OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
