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.

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".

Yes they would. It'd be a bit more costly, but both the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal were created for a reason.

Where did you get that figure? I thought it was something like between 10th and 7th depending on who you ask.

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.

We already have one Sand, the Libertarian Party. I am a card carrying, voting member and I've even run for office once. Check out our website:

 

US Libertarian Party

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.

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

California would bankrupt itself within 10 years. Socialisim is very expensive when you have to pay for it yourself.
