Good Riddance

UNLESS *******    We Won't Play

Please California! Don't throw us into a brier patch. On Thursday, people unhappy with California’s place in the United States filed yet another proposed ballot measure that could lead to the Golden State striking out on its own. The perfect solution Being rid of California has an upside, and a downside. It's not the ideal solution we all hoped for.  That would have been earth quakes sending the Red Menace (see map) into the ocean.  Here's a very quick analysis, which will at least start a dialog. Our Upside: Losing California's 55 electoral votes would emasculate the Democrat Party. Period. And, we no longer have to subsidize, nor adhere to, the idiotic controls on everything they burden us with.  And, without Uncle's $$ to bail them out, the new country of California will become the new Cuba, lickety-split. Downsides: A national prayer answered?  Mostly, but not totally. Of course Cally could never be allowed to take with it any territory south of Los Angeles.  The United States cannot afford to lose, nor let these idiots control, our naval and military bases. We will need to intercept the hostile nations who would flock to this new country. And there's this.  We have foolishly allowed California to become our nation's " fruit and vegetable basket."   We would likely have to trade with them, at least until states can take up the slack. Our immigration laws would scrupulously consider previous party affiliation, birth place, and wanted posters. That's enough for now.
