How's that? The north has both agriculture and industry as well as seaports on both coasts. The major rail hub is in Chicago, so internal material movement is already taken care of. The red states represent that largest drain on Medicare and welfare funds. They pretty much already have the American Taliban set up in many places...if the red states were a government of it's own, Taliban states like Texas would overwhelm the rest of the country and that would quickly devolve into a fascist Christian dictatorship, kinda like how the ideals of the Bolshevik revolution (Freedom, liberty, equality) quickly devolved into a Marxist dictatorship.

Eh, wrong on several counts there. 1) You don't need to understand how life got to the state it's in now to understand what it IS now. Biotech would advance just fine without it even in the unlikely event that evolution got taken out of those schools. 2) Conservative != Christian 3) Even if they ended up with a Christian theocracy it wouldn't be like the Taliban. 4) Neither side would last 20 years before they were third world countries. The economic ideals of extremists would take care of that in under a decade for BOTH groups. The conservatives would destroy their economy on pointless wars sold to the public as fighting terrorism when in fact the goal is to get more oil. The liberals would destroy thier's with welfare programs run rampant. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:320488 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
