The Dos And Don't s Of Nation Building.

Not too long ago, just a year or two, Governor Rick Perry of Texas suggested Texas should secede from the U.S.A. Not too strange considering the source and the state, and now the latest is, part of California wants to secede from the rest. What it's about is some Republicans are unhappy that the majority of the state is Democrat. Fair enough, but if everybody did that we'd have a country with 300,000,000 plus states. One for every person in the country. I'm not sure how you'd pull that one off. First off, each state is entitled to one Representative for every few hundred thousand residents. So at least the House of Representatives could be abolished. But each state is entitled to two Senators. I can see several flaws in that plan. First off, if each person is his or her own state, who would be the second Senator. Secondly, where would the Senate meet in session? It would have to be a fairly large "chamber" and there had better be more then a few restrooms. There's never enough restrooms. Then there's the problem of transportation. How do we go about getting all those people to one location at the same time. Just imagine the parking lot. Maybe we could push for carpooling. That would help. The point to all this foolishness is this. Suck it up folks. If you don't like the politics in your neighborhoods or county or state or the country, there are a few things you can do. First you can get active in politics and at least vote. If you don't at least vote, nobody cares what you think. Second you can start a family and raise some voters yourself. Third you can move to a neighboring neighborhood, county, state or country. What you shouldn't do is complain while doing nothing to improve the area you live in. Folks are more likely to take you serious if you are someone who actually helps rather then be someone who just complains.
