Back to the original topic of California. What would the red counties of California achieve if they were to separate from the more prosperous blue counties?[/quote]If you read the manifesto (http://californiarebellion2012.com/), quite a bit, but I’m not sure it would turn out the way they think. If they were able to pull it all off (part time legislature, etc.) I’d be all for it.
[quote]So how would the new South California fund its government?[/quote]
Not from mj taxes, that’s for sure. Dammit, I think I just switched back to Nor Cal. Now I’ll have to move.

ParticipantA perfect example of why ideas like this (51st state) gain traction is the signing of the gay history education law by Brown last week.

ParticipantThere is no argueing than most state boundaries, especially in the Western states, make little economical, geographical or cultural sense. In this respect, there has been 51st state proposals that deserve consideration. I’m thinking in particular about the Delmarva Peninsula or the reunion of Eastern WA and the ID panhandle.
But clearly this is not the case here. A southern CA state with half of the central plain on the other side of the Tehachapi moutains but without LA??? This guy had to fail geography in elementary school to suggest such NONSENSE.
More seriously, if we were to start diving states purely along partisan lines, why just stop there? This is exactly the kind of centrifuge forces that, in the long run, would tear apart a nation that otherwise gets pride and strength from its diversity.
