Hot damn...that means we Northerners can get on with the job of building
a progressive union of forward-looking states and the Southern
secessionists can get on with their vision of building a third-world
cluster****.

"Forward looking" means different things to different people. The same
"forward lookers" regarding some issues may also be the ones who long
for the "good old days" on others.

That's what's good about a democracy though. Individuals or groups can
propose and advocate for anything they want (within reason).

It's fine with me if the South secedes, so long as Ft.
Lauderdale-Miami/New Orleans/Hilton Head remain in the union. The rest
of the South can change their national symbol to the pale-skinned blond
Jew on a cross, as far as I am concerned.

We would happily let you have Ft Liquordale and Myammo right now if
you want them.

Never been to Hilton Head but the other Krause favorites have no appeal
to me. As a matter of fact on our visit to La. during Mardi Gras last
year, we deliberately avoided N.O. We did go to the site of Krause's
shooting on Grand Isle though.
