You didn't state the distinction there are actually some"good" people in your original remark.

When there's no need to state the painfully obvious, I don't.

Instead you bluntly wished to disassociate yourself from several states.

Damn right I did. Those states and the people who dominate their elections are the death of the country.

By that line of logic you should disassociate yourself from the U.S. because the executive and legislative branches of government are controlled by socialists with only a minority of conservatives

Done. I hearby disasscoiate myself from my socialist government. That was easy enough...

The real problem with northeast states is urbanization. The more town services there are the more town workers, the more dependence on the town, city, state, workers and thus the more that will vote to preserve them. Out in the country people are more self sufficient, resistant to intrusion and tend to be more likely to put their trust in a power higher that the god of the state.

The trouble is that urban areas get more votes per acre than less populated areas. If you could assign representation based on county rather than on direct popular votes the self reliant rural areas would have more of a political voice, and if you used permanent geographical divisions such as county boundaries there will be no gerrymandering. If each county got one vote for each Senate election (much like the electoral college) then the urban Libs wouldn't be as politically dominant. However since the dominant libs are the ones that would have to vote to change the system it will never happen.

Qualifying your original statement only exposes its weakness.

Damn right I did. Those states and the people who dominate their elections are the death of the country.

Those states include many Freepers and other Conservatives. I don't think they all wish to lumped into your ridiculous category.

Done. I hearby disasscoiate myself from my socialist government. That was easy enough...

Congratulations on leaving the U.S. so quickly!
