Sundering of America

[The Minsky Moment]

Initially, I see the 20th century's confederacy as a five state union. It would be around on par with Australia in terms of population and economy. If it needed to be stated, it would consist of Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina and Louisiana.

It would be like Australia if you took away the abundant natural resources, and if replaced them with the worst educational systems and public health in the western world.

Phew.  Ishmail here was making too much sense for awhile.  Now I am reminded he is still insane.   

It's a Fallout thing.  Felt like throwing in a random reference somewhere.

Although it was based on the Cavalier's Europe, it was left behind, becoming almost unique in the West. The closest similarities I have found are among the carlists or the Travail, Famille, Patrie of Vichy.

Oh wow -- where do I sign up?

BB- There'd be no war. I am referring to Spellus's comment about the american military rounding up and killing secessionists, and terrorising the Southern civilians while they are at it. Basically, he is suggesting a war be inaugerated.

Also, pfft to West Point. All the cool kids go to VMI or The Citadel. Moreover, the average Southerner is neither 300 pounds nor does he work at wal-mart.

Finally, even West Point has an even higher proportion of Southerners in it than the military itself. So there.

Now now. We need out meth suppliers, white trash, 3 children by age 19 and Yosemite Sam mud flaps.

You too.

You wound me sirrah.

Cal adds 4 points to the kentucky score.

While the South's paunch is something to be proud of, 31% obese isnt 300 pounds average.

I intend to be fat later in life myself. It is a tradition.

Shut your trap before I sic Grant on your traitorous rebel ass.
