I probably more comfortable with "red country" than you are but I do think that the "blues" help keep some of their excesses in check. And of course the economic and political disruption (and possibly outright war) that a secession attempt would cause would be disastrous. Fortunately the idea is going nowhere. You probably wouldn't get 1% of either "reds" or "blues" that would support secession. Thinking of reds, I kind of wish that another color had been chosen to represent Republicans. Too many socialist/communist associations with that color. If anything the colors should be reversed. Most of the "blues" aren't really reds in that sense either but they are closer. Tim

Well, this morning I've read that I am stupid, ignorant, homophobic, emotional, callous, a redneck, a religious zealot, and my knuckles have carpet burns from being dragged on the floor. I am manipulated, conned, and just too damn dumb to know better. I obviously won't be given citizenship in America Coastopia. It is very sad. As a redstater, I guess I will hear no more P Diddy or Dixie Chicks, see Di Caprio or Michael Moore movies. How empty my life will be. On the other hand, I may be tripping over Ten Commandment monuments in the grocery store and reading by the light of crossburnings. I dunno. It's a tossup.
