Bhairitu,
I just looked up in Wikipedia about the three potential states in California,
which includes the wannabee state of Jefferson, located in northern California.
It sounds ideal. But I don't believe Governor Brown or his successors will
let this happen. For one, politics and money will eventually get in the way.

Also, I read about the concept of Nine Nations of North America. The idea is
fascinating. But who would like to be called a resident of the Empty Quarter?

Perhaps the stupid country should fall. "US Government" is an oxymoron
anymore. Perhaps we ought to be 9 different countries instead, along the
geographical lines of the "Nine Nations of North America." That always made
sense to me. California, as it is, should be 3 states anyway. The area would
get 4 more Senators but we really do need to get rid of Diane Fein$tein. Then
maybe we could have what other countries have and that is Single Payer
healthcare. Instead we waste trillions on foreign wars to protect "American
interests." Not they count on the public thinking "American interests" are
going after terrorists and establishing democracies when really "American
interests" are the US corporate pirates who want to raid the country for it's
resources. Secondly we need to get rid of the AMA who keeps people out of
medical school who have a true interest in medicine and instead support the
"old boys network" of sons and daughters of mediocre
MDs attending medical school.
