Just give the Bay Area their own state so they can have their communist worker's paradise and leave the rest of us alone.

I think one of the best parts of California is its' diversity... why split it up? I think in the most part each part has a symbiotic relationship with one another and that from what I know there isn't really any major animosity.

The North provides resources/water for the South, while the South brings up goods/services from the ports to the North and the rest of the Country. The bay area provides new ideas/technologies and the Central Valleys provide food for the rest of the State while the rest of the State provides a customer and tourists.

I think the whole of California makes up a "complete" California. I don't think the State would thrive as well if the individual parts were to be divided.

The question should be: Should California split from the United States? YES

No, all the different parts of California rely on each other and need each other. Whether they like it or not. Ha.

Wouldn't the Right Winged OC area be more "communist" being that any thing different immediately gets ridiculed.

Go look up communism and tell me which region's ideals most closely align with it.

What's great about California is that there are so many differences in everything, from politics to landscape.
Keep it as one and let the extremists play their games.
