There have been numerous tries over the years for a northern and southern California, and lately some guy is trying to break it up into 5 different states. Our biggest problem here is that the major population centers have always been heavily controlled by the democrats, but the rest of the state is fairly conservative. Some of the highest taxes in the country and more people per capita on welfare and food stamps here than anyplace else. Lousy roads and the highest gas taxes in the US and yet they keep voting these idiots into office. Northern CA has lots of water but it all gets shipped to southern CA in canals. It's a pretty fucked up place sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Yes we do SOB. The only State that is in question is Texas because we were our own country at one time. But I think it has been proven since that we don't have the right to succeed anymore and I don't know what changed or if it's true. If nothing has changed then we are the only state in the union that has that right. California only wishes they did... and we only wish California did and would.

Yuogoslavia comes to mind ................ hxtr and Sonovabich 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Hyperinflation to the max. A loaf of bread doubled in price everyday until it was outrageous. Not being an economist.... but with all these wonderful gas prices we are seeing today, I remember back with Jimmy Carter was fucking shit up the price of gas went through the roof. I just paid 2.99 a gallon regular. If I don't pay high gas prices that means everything is just fine.... right? Back in the 70's people woke up. Today people are comfortably distracted. By 2016 shit will be fucked up here in the USSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has seriously tried to break from the union since the civil war, but our Declaration of Independence appears to give us the right to kick the dumbasses out of Washington and put new dumbasses in power.
