I didn't read all that, BSAMS, but I do think the USA is a bit big for a single country full of so many people raised to think of themselves above anyone else. I personally wouldn't have any problem letting the USA split into more localized groups. I mean, from the three presidents I've been cognizant enough to notice, they have only really reflected about half the people in the nation (Clinton, Bush, Obama). Might it not benefit everyone to split up and have locations more appropriate to the general mindset of the inhabitants? I mean, the nations in Europe are state-sized! Russia and Canada are bigger than the USA, but they also have huge areas of mostly uninhabitable land. I dunno. Just some stuff I been thinking on for a few years.
Old men, fear me! You will shatter under my ruthless apathetic assault!
