Not only do I think that California should be its own country, and Texas should be its own country .... but I think California should be the most progressive, liberal, generous, advanced, safe and peaceful country ...

















.... right after we annihilate Texas.

The problem is that Northern California would never agree to be an independent country with Southern California. There are enough people in Nor Cal who wish to break away as a separate state from So Cal. as it is.




OK, well, not THE problem, just one of many.

The problem with California becoming its own country (and yes, I know it you know it is just a fun to imagine pipe dream) is that I suspect Colorado and Arizona will no longer feel contractually obligated to provide Los Angeles with water.

Doesn't Texas have the right, in some deal when they agreed to become a state, that they can secede at any time without penalty?

Alex 07-02-2008 06:48 PM
Nope. And I linked to that site because if there was a case to be made that it was codified in writing, they'd make it.

Unlike them, I do think the Civil War did answer the question.


And above I meant Arizona and the Colorado River not Colorado the state.

Water is the primary wedge why some Nor Californians want to be a separate state from So Cal.

No.

Perhaps, but they will gladly give it up for our porn
