Dark and foggy places, labyrinths of nightmarish images, at the center of which sits Edgar Alan Poe, pen in hand, a raven peering from the shadows. He floats, contemplating the remnants of absinthe in his glass, the green fairy circling his brain like a moth trapped in an oil lamp...

Thanks, but it was in my sock drawer.

I have to agree, it was a pretty interesting to watch. I think they both got their points across.

I've clearly spent too much time thinking about this, but ... a split of the US simply into red and blue states is illogical. A more viable solution would produce several nations.

The Blue Wall states of New England, the Mid-Atlantic (including Virginia) and the Great Lakes could make one viable nation. The Southern states, minus Virginia but with Kentucky and West Virginia, could make another viable nation. Texas could go it alone again, they'd just get more Texasey in my opinion. Similarly, Utah might also go it alone as that state is culturally unique. Colorado and New Mexico could team up. The Central and Northern Plains and the Northern Rockies would be culturally, economically and politically copacetic. And the three Pacific Coast states, plus Nevada and Hawaii, would make sense. Alaska could join the Plains and Northern Rockies states or go it alone. Arizona seems to be moving from red to blue, maybe they'd go with the Pacific states, or maybe they'd work a deal with Colorado/New Mexico.

Not gonna happen, but interesting to think about. Kinda raised the question where I would want to move before the split becomes final.

I always thought the US-Canada border should be vertical instead of horizontal, running from the Arctic through Saskatchewan and North Dakota for example down to the Gulf of Mexico. Having grown up in Eastern Canada, spending my Navy time in the Eastern US and living in the Pacific Northwest, with relatives in British Columbia it just makes more sense. Politically, environmentally and from a population density stand point we're much more in line with Western Canadians or they're more in line with us, than the East coast of either country is.

Texas - Alberta=steers and oil wells
Saskatchewan - Midwest US = farm lands and low population densities
West Coast US - BC = tree huggers, outdoorsy types and Liberals
VS.
Ontario - Illinois / Indiana = Huge cities surrounded by farm lands and tundra
Quebec - NY State, = Large cities surrounded by woods and lakes, some mountains
New England, Eastern Seaboard of both countries = fishing, lobstermen, water sports (ahem), Maritime culture..

Just makes more sense to me.

Well, the design is to keep the will of the people out of government affairs. In effect it is easier to ~~buy~~ influence senators, that is if you have lots of $$$, votes only count at elections times.

Oddly enough I had Pennetti Terra E Mare for dinner last night, bloody good but the calamari appetizer was out of a box like Mrs. Paul's or something. kinda' spoiled it for me to be honest, I mean how hard is it to roll some squid in batter and drop it in the deep fryer for a minute? The rest of the meal was good and I was the only one complaining, I still thought it was pretty shitty for what was supposed to be "fine dining, with a view of Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains"
