As I see it this man must have been an ilegal drug test victim now diagnosed with a Border Line syndrom - as its best - believing with spreading his shit he is going to manipulate ppl into sth.
He would be better off searching for an anti drug!!! -

Heh!
Rest assured there is NOTHING like the friction needed to THINK of splitting up the US. Quebec and Canada experience more friction than any state and the rest of the US.
One of the things about modern technology is the way it makes the world, and consequently, the US, smaller. The modern highway system means we can travel across the whole of the US in 3 days (providing you have a couple drivers, and you're dedicated to doing it). Jets make the trip in 3 hours. Television, telephones and the internet put everybody virtually NEXT DOOR to each other.
The US Civil War (1861-1865) took place when it took months to travel across the US, couldn't communicate across distances except by telegraph and mail(which took a lot longer back then as well), and you couldn't traverse the nation by rail yet. IMHO, isolation played a large role in breeding the environment that brought on the war.
Today, television helps bring us together. We watch nationally broadcast news and television shows, which gives us all a common culture and basis for our mores and customs. Regional accents are even moderating a bit. I've known southerners that deliberately adopt the standard midwest American accent, and while there IS such a thing as a Pittsburgh accent and dialect, most Pittsburghers only lapse into it when they're trying to be funny, or they're drunk 🙂
I'm not saying there aren't some interesting times ahead. I think there are, but I don't' see any secession in our future. -
#5 Doc has a point. Quebec came closer to splitting from Canada then any part of the US after the civil war.
I love this song from Charlie Daniels, but YouTube won't load the whole thing. It's a conspiracy! -

c:Dnspir@cy: right now a cold wind flickers through the window and makes me shiver for a moment...
Ba. That prof guy is just jealous (beside the a.m. disorder). Excuse my harsh and brutal words, but sure there is reason behind.
I will avoid goin into much detail but what t f#&$ is happening then to the ex udssr?
The velvet revolution of Prague (11/29/1989) with Vaclav Havel as a spokesman for all the union bound workers preluded the wave of a persisting tendency: secession. Czechoslovakia , Bulgaria, Hungary, Polen, all, though autonom had the significance - seen from Moskaus POV - of an "appendix" and not an allied country.
PS & DocJ is always makin points when he opens his mouth 🙂
Due to that "Heh!" I thought first my words were a lil too harsh?
Well thought once time over this canadien problem & found an article reflecting my view on that issue:

Either I've been on a good run, or you just haven't heard me talk enough. 🙂
Nah, I thought what you said was exactly what that article deserved. What the author doesn't understand is that we no longer identify ourselves as Pennsylvanians, Tennesseans, etc, as was the case during our civil war. We self-identify as Americans. That means that we're not going to leave the U.S., we're going to stay and argue and make the U.S. how we think it should be. "WE'RE Americans, we aren't going anywhere! YOU GUYS leave!" Of course, the other guys also think of themselves primarily as Americans, and damn well aren't going anywhere either.
IMHO, only like 3 states have residents that have a fairly strong identity beyond being Americans. Maybe some of our board members will chime in on this, as one of them is Texas. They were once a country (for about 9 years), and they have a strong self-identity. Hawaii is another one. There are some native Hawaiians that favor independence, but I think they're very much in the minority. Finally, there's Alaska. Detached and stuck way up in the cold and dark north, they can't help but be bitter, self-important bastards. 🙂 But they aren't going anywhere - they've got oil reserves the US won't ever let go of, and we've got all the women 🙂
Canada has a good thing going, IMHO, if they get the French/English bickering over with. Huge country, relatively small population, a lot of natural resources. They could be the U.S. of the 22nd century. Just when many other countries are overpopulated and stripped of resources, they'll coming into their own.
