We could just join the EU...

Ironically, I remember once reading some crappy sci-fi, "near-future" novel where some hippie managed to get elected President and did just that.

Wouldn't we have to dissolve our constitution first?

Wait, does the EU even want 50 new members?   :lol:

50? You sure Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama meet the criteria for the Stability and Growth Pact?

The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

If you type in "genetically modified foods" into google and do an image search you can see other people's concerns.  Is anyone here addressing the problem that Monsanto may turn children into the undead?

Won't someone think of the undead children?

Yes, the 4 senators from luxemburg and malta won't exactly be popular, not to mention the 600 ish reliably democratic electoral votes the new "states" would have.

Probably, though in honesty, I have no idea what kind of shape their budgets are in.  If there's a state that doesn't, it would probably be California.

California's back in the pink (relatively) under Gov. Moonbeam.  I think The Land of Lincoln is the true basket case.

Yes. Yes we do.
Though surely some of the more pointless states can be merged?

Apparently not.





Looks like Donald Rumsfeld and Rahm Emanuel back there on the second picture.  This whole thing kinda reminds me of the vaccine fear mongering a few years back.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

They probably beat most European countries.  For instance Arkansas beats France in GDP per capita.  Britain is around there as well.
