OT: Welcome to South California, the 51st state…..

[scaredyclassic]

It sure seems not very conservative to change state boundaries. The only question I have is is south California going to require a new bar exam.

But from an aggregate statistical standpoint, it doesn’t make sense. When I see the poor and least educated counties in Mississipi voting Republican, I really wonder what those voters are thinking.

Brian: Yeah, kinda like wondering why blacks continue to vote Democrat? You’d be hard-pressed to find a party that has done more (through policies and programs) to utterly destroy the nuclear black family, along with obliterating educational and financial opportunities, than the Democratic Party.

[quote=paramount]A perfect example of why ideas like this (51st state) gain traction is the signing of the gay history education law by Brown last week.[/quote]

Paramount: Wait, what? You don’t feel that minority/ethnic groups comprising less than 4% of the population should be given special rights?

Don’t you feel we should also add Uzbeki views on history to our laws? Or the beliefs of Zoroastrians? How’s about the Basques? I think they’re interesting and could add a lot to the national dialogue.

After all, if we’re going to be all-inclusive, shouldn’t we be ALL-inclusive? I mean failing to do so would be discriminatory, right? And being discriminatory is MEAN and it hurts people’s feelings! We should always strive NEVER to hurt anyone’s feelings. And if we don’t strive hard enough, the gubment should make laws and things so that we’re always nice. Because that’s what Big Mommy Gubment is there for. To take care of ALL of our problems.

California would be better off sticking together and asking to leave the US. They pay a lot more to DC than they get back. Bay Area is a strong economic/tech center — why would anyone from SoCal want to lose that income source?

Even speaking as an auslander, the North/South urination contest is counterproductive, pointless, and a distraction from the real issue above.

Damn. If South California became a red state, I might move back and bring my business with me!
