Sure mopey you can leave, take eminem and the "hoss" and the dickie chunks and all the others with you. Then when your little "candy-ass istan" or "Prance" or whatever you call it gets invaded because you have no defense or weapons, when you`re overrun with STDs out the ... well don`t come to us, don`t come to us for meds or jobs or food or technology because you will all stink and be infested with God knows what. Go have your DU-topia, we don`t need or want you around.
hey, mobydick...
Don't guess Moby studied the civil war while in school. Wait, did he go to school??

What a dumbass. Excuse me, but eloquence escapes me.
If anyone dislikes this country and the current balance of power, they can just leave. I encourage them to do so. I might even chip in if they promise to not come back.
OK, It's Done
11/3/2004 - New York City
can someone remind me why secession is not an option at this point?
i mean let's be realistic, we live in a divided country.
can't we have the breakaway republics of 'north-east-istan' and 'pacific-stan'?
wouldn't the red states be happier without us?
we could still travel freely and trade freely with them, but can't we just leave?
then you could have 3 countries:
northeastistan
pacificstan
redstateistan
one other option would be for us to all join the republican party en masse and make it socially liberal and fiscally conservative(as opposed to it's current 'socially puritanical/fiscally insane' status).
ok, it's done.
john kerry has seceded.
if you need us, my friends and i will be drunk for the next 4 years.

Dear....
11/4/2004 - New York City
'dear rest of america,
can't you please let little old new york city secede from the rest of the nation?
please?
we're very little and you probably wouldn't even notice that we were gone.
please? pretty please?
how about if we buy you guys donkeys?
will you let us secede if we buy each and every person in the rest of the united states a donkey?
you'd like to have your own friendly donkey, wouldn't you?
wouldn't you rather have a friendly donkey than a small insignificant city that no one really likes anyway?
we will be good neighbors, and you can come visit whenever you like(considering you have a valid passport).
again, please?
thank you very much, and i look forward to hearing your response.

What Do We Do Now?
11/4/2004 - New York City
a lot of people have been asking me, 'what do we do now?'
well, my answer is kind of simple and probably disappointing.
we should have fun with our friends, and do good work, and maybe adopt a dog, and eat. eating is good.
in other words, we shouldn't let ourselves get distraught over politics.
yes, america has chosen gw bush as their president.
it's not what we wanted, but that's the way it is.
we can hope that maybe the 2nd bush term will be more moderate than the first(this isn't just me being willfully naive, i do believe that a 2nd bush term might be more moderate because he's not going to up for re-election again so he doesn't have to accomodate the christian right as slavishly as he's done in the 1st term).
we'll see what happens. sorry if i sound like i'm being wishy-washy, i just don't want us all to let ourselves sink into depression over the democratically expressed will of the majority of voting americans.
it is what it is, and being depressed and despondent isn't going to make anything better.
so go out and eat some ice cream and play with a dog and go see a movie with your friends.
the world will go on, don't let yourself get depressed, ok?

Dear Canada
11/4/2004 - New York City
'dear canada,
now, more than ever, your neighbor to the south(aka-the blue states)needs you. most of us living in the northern and western parts of the united states don't feel very connected to the rest of the u.s, so can we bring our states and become part of canada?
we have a lot of money and some interesting cities and we promise not to be too much trouble.
the benefits to you:
a-in one fell swoop you can have southern california and new york city! surfing in canada! suddenly the u.n is on canadian soil! broadway is suddenly in canada! you could then say that canada is the birthplace of jazz and hip-hop!
b-money. cold hard cash. the red states in the u.s might have the voting power, but guess who has the money? yup, your friendly neighborhood blue states.
so when/if you accept our offer you will instantly become the richest country in the world! that sounds pretty good, right?
c-karma. accepting this offer will give you more good karma than you'd know what to do with(because you would instantly make 120 million people VERY happy).
so you get warm beaches, tons of cash, and good karma. who can say no to that?
please let us know if you accept the offer. given our enthusiasm to join canada it's safe to say that the details of the offer could probably be worked out in an afternoon.
thank you very much,
moby
p.s-just to put your minds at ease, we do know that we can't bring our assault weapons with us.'
