Hardly. I don't know why the US bothers holding onto these states that don't care to be apart of the nation. They're not all that productive to begin with.

Maybe one day I can make that dream come true. But at the rate the US and its politicians are going at things...I can just stay here and watch the fireworks and see where things lay afterwords.
You're a real asset to the country you live in.

Yep. I don't venture south of DC. I live in the great state of PA. Where America was born and the confederacy was put to death.

The parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents of today's southerners expressed their gratitude to the brave southern boys in a much more elegant and eloquent way: they built fine monuments. I find memorials at Stone Mountain Georgia, the statues along Richmond's Monument Avenue, the dignified obelisk or column or statue in most southern town's court house square to "Our Glorious Confederate Dead" are far more poetic and fitting than these lame flag waving demonstrations.

Lots of places only exist in our minds...take Palestine,The Basques land,Catalonia,Kurdistan..many more I am sure...several are coming to fruition...some day so will an independent south land...you saw the politician saying things are getting to the level of how politics was before the "civil war" broke out...maybe he is full of it maybe he isn't. He is one of hundreds of politicians in DC...I don't understand.If you left wingers hate us so called right wingers so much why so interested in keeping the country together? Why not let us go our separate ways and then things can get done finally.

Sure are missing a lot of the country...I have been as far north as New York and as far west as Nevada...nothing compares to how I feel down south.

I wish I could have as much gravitas as you do Clark Park. You are one of the finest here at c-d.
