The country is crashing around our ears

[Horse with no Name]

Do you think we will divide to North and South again?

1. I'm for that. It was stupid to keep the South in the Union anyway. n/t

[melody]

2. Not now -- the south will be even worse off than the richer states n/t

6. With the prejudices and the election

and the market collapse...we will wake up one morning (sooner than later) and our country will be different from the one we had the night before.
It wouldn't surprise me to see the country break into smaller, more sustainable regional countries...we could call them Texasstan, Oklahomastan, Arkansastan...etc

9. If only

Californians would be much better off if we were our own country (actually, I wonder if the coastal states -- east and west -- should just shake loose the rest and become our own Republic -- I'm sure Canada could be prevailed upon to let us sneak through to the other side through them lol).

But I don't see it happening (unfortunately) any time soon.

10. If that happens

I'm hightailin' it back home to California (I live in Missouri).

3. Nah. All we need do is sell off Texas and Florida and expand Lake Erie

to encompass all of Ohio and Indiana and we'll be fine.

5. Would that be an environmentally friendly solution?

4. No, I think we are more likely to divide into sustainable vs unsustainable areas if

we find ourselves in another Depression.

(This is not to say that the prejudicial stuff coming out in this election is not scary, but I am seeing a bigger problem in the long run when it comes to being able to provide for our families.)

7. We might see more totalitarian forms of fascism reappear on the world stage.

They will not call themselves fascists. They will come carrying the message that they can correct things and make America great again.

11. North to south? What about Alaska? Montana? The Dakotas?

What if Virginia, North Carolina, even Florida vote for Obama?

It's much more complex than north/south.
