Now this boggles the mind. A move to get liberal New England states such as Vermont to secede from the US along with liberal Southern states such as.....mmm....South Carolina?
Too funny.

I have only half seriously suggested that Louisiana needs to secede, or at least that part of Louisiana that lies south of I-10, as we are not treated like your compatriots and, besides, it would be lots of fun to have full control over all that oil, the fisheries, and the port of N.O.
We could become a Cajun Dubai, rich as Croesus. We could build hurricane protection to last centuries, evacuate in limos, make the Superdome hurricane proof so we could have some dandy hurricane parties.
But should we share all those natural resources which rightfully ought to be exclusively ours but for the Feds with Massachussets and a bunch of other damYankees?
I think not.
Think of the cultural challenge: How would a colorful Cajun politico speak to a bunch of dour Maine farmers, folks whose faces would bleed if they smiled? How would you indoctrinate them into the spirit of Mardi Gras, show them the ropes at Galatoire's and Commander's, to not be insulted when a gal tells you to "suck the head, babe" when eating crawfish?
I don't think it can be done. |
