I was having a political conversation with a few buds of mine after work yesterday. A few of them are left leaning while a few are right leaning, nothing extreme. Needless to say, our conversations often get a bit heated but remain very interesting nonetheless. Anyway, out of the blue one of them says that "Since we can't seem to agree on anything nowadays and that most of us pledge our allegiance not to the United States, but to political parties that are supposed to be representing said United States why not just divide up the country?" No one took him seriously at first because he seemed to be joking around with the idea. However, I started to ponder about this a bit. This isn't the first time I have heard this idea tossed around. Most of the time, however, it comes from the mouth of some foreigner who will be out of here in 6 months to a year anyway so their opinion is irrelevant.
My question to you Freeones is this: Do any of you think that it would be a good idea to divide the country up into sections based solely on political points of view? And I don't mean the whole red state, blue state thing. I mean to legally form territories and boundaries much in the way the states are already divided up. I personally think it's a crap ass idea because political views change over time. Also, we already had a war over preserving the sanctity of the union and lord knows we don't really need another civil war.
