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. -moby
*********HERE IS THE JOURNAL ENTERY FROM BEFORE*************
The Election 11/3/2004 - New York City
if/when bush wins...(and who knows...it's 4 a.m..maybe john kerry will win... but right now things look kind of bush-y. so i write this assuming that bush has won the election.) well, he won. america has chosen their president. we might disagree, but they've chosen their president. some of us might long for a secession wherein certain parts of the country declare their sovereign autonomy, but given our current state of quasi-united states, well, bush won. tonight i realized that although america is possessed of a lot of progressive people, america is essentially a right-wing republican country. we might resist this fact, but it is a fact. it's not a fact in manhattan. it's not a fact in l.a or san francisco. but for 100+ million people it's a fact. americans have made their choice. we might not necessarily agree with their choice, but we do have to accept that the choice was made democratically, and without coercion. and now we ask...what now? with another 4 years of a republican president/senate/house, well...what do they want? the right-wing have re-asserted their dominance. what do they want? i do hope that the democrats in the house and senate do their best to impose sane restrictions upon the more extreme tendencies of the newly empowered right-wing. we live in a democracy. and the democracy has spoken. the vox populii have expressed their will. and, given the rules by which we all play, we must accept the results of this election. live and learn. and may we all learn to recognize that the democratic process doesn't always accomodate our preferences and/or will. sorry if i sound like a pathetic loser, but, well, we lost. and now we have to live with our circumstances as they've been presented to us. the sun will rise tomorrow, and the people who voted for bush will: a-send their sons/daughters off to war in iraq b-complain about unemployment c-lament their lack of health care d-complain about the high price of prescription drugs e-complain about a low minimum wage f-complain about high gas prices/heating oil costs g-and so on h-and so on... the people have made their choice. and now, for better or worse, they have to live with their choice. i wish the american people and the politicians who rule them: good luck. really. bush won. the people in america have chosen him as their elected commander-in-chief. 49% of us might have voted differently, but we lost. let's all hope that these next 4 years are not as divisive and contentious as the last 4 years have been. good luck to the republicans, for, regardless of our party affiliations, they won and they will rule us for the next 4 years. moby p.s-but, for what it's worth, i wish the republicans in the house, senate, executive, and judicial branches the best of luck. as i've said, the american people have chosen their elected representatives, now may said representatives lead us with intelligence, wisdom, and discretion. here's hoping...
bourgeoisie = bougosiere ... bad speller.
I had forgotten about Moby.
What does he have against capital letters?
I like his secession thought...John Carpenter's "Escape from NY" comes to mind...let's incarcerate Moby there...and MM, and Babs, Soros, etc.
I think that we should pass out sharp knives and arsenic on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
What a maroon.

Excuse me...did we ever need you?
If he likes the 'stans so much he should move to the Middle East. He wouldn't last very long in an Islamic country. Then again he could go over there and start his own country with the rest of Hollywood and the left - DUmbassistan.
I can't add much to that.
MOBY is a "has been" effete loser. Stay drunk moron.
I know of a great liquor store if Moby ever wants to contact me.
Poor Moby. Chasing his far off ideals of liberal utopia (could that be his white whale? Is M Moore Cap'n Ahab?)
He is welcome to go. Why not to... any suggestions?
Except that you blue staters would start trying to boss us red staters around, and we would have to kick your asses.

Maybe we could wall off all of those blue areas?
