| #7 It would be interesting to see a Pakistan/India deal where the liberals flow into the New California nation and the conservatives flow out of California. I'm sure California would set up reeducation camps before long to deal with whomever remained ideologically impure. |

| #3 It is Russia Today. Possibly this is a good deal more fringe than it appears. But if it's serious, as opposed to a bunch of blowhards confusing no-fault divorce with civil war, this could become a very interesting teachable moment. Point out they can have an orderly separation upon full payment of their share of the national debt -- what is it now, $9 trillion? -- based on the state's total population including non-citizens, and of course there will be a complete cessation of federal transfer payments of all sorts from the moment we start these discussions. Also, we're keeping all designated federal lands and facilities -- the result will look a good deal like Swiss cheese, I imagine, or the state can purchase them at current market value. The U.S. might even turn a profit on the deal, while getting rid of a major expense. |
