Great Idea, but do we have to recognize it? can we let it be independent from the rest? What are they bringing to the table, that we should recognize them? How soon do we become the federation of States? The eventual Bosniazation of the old USA is becoming a reality even though I may not live to see it.
To: DIRTYSECRET

Well, they can’t very well call it Columbia. That would be insensitive and offensive.
