Interesting.  ...and it makes sense.  North Florida is practically a different state already.

[StL FinFan]

Exactly what would this accomplish? 

[bsmooth]

It won't happen. Around a decade ago California voted on the same thing. The northern counties voted that they wanted to split, but nothing came out of it.

Exactly what would this accomplish? 

  Nothing.

I heard about this and thought that it was a joke. I'm not sure what it would accomplish, but I like the idea. I'm afraid of Northern Florida.

Oh, Lord.  Maine has been trying to do this forever.  Northern Maine wanted out and to become their own state.  Then they wanted to become part of Canada.  Every state that is large geographically always has a percentage of the population wearing the grass is greener glasses.

I think St. Louis and the surrounding St. Louis county should get the heck out of Missouri.  People think we have cows wandering our streets.

BTW Dave- you might wanna make sure your automatic spell check is working.

There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced the're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
 But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"These oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.



F'em.......as long as I make the cut for North Florida let'em go.

Its not just the large states, when I was living in RI, there was a group wanting to split the state in two.

Nice, I wonder how many people know the song?

I don't see this ever happening.

I think individual counties should be able to negotiate with other neighboring counties to form new states. I'd like to see an annual "unveiling of the USA flag," where we eagerly wait to see how many stars will be on there.

I think I could still sing most of the words to most of the songs on Hemispheres...though since I just got home from work, the Rush lyric I'm currently appreciating is "the fragrance of afghanistan rewards a long day's toil..."

These are wasted hours, wasted tax payer money, democrats have to be involved.
