Would you like to see the U.S. split up? (money, government)

[WatermelonRat]

No, but I'd like the old confederate states turned into territories.

Given the sharp divide in this country between Republicans and Democrats, would we be better off splitting up?

And how would such a split work? Such a split would be beyond even a Solomonic judgement.

Must I explain it again? A split up would not be an even North/South makeup. It would resemble a Soviet styled breakup. MANY factions splitting up from DC and the few Mid-Atlantic and Pacific Coast states supporting her.

In my opinion, yes. It's like a bad marriage.

What a stupid, naive, childish, sophomoric, degrading, denigrating poll. Of course not. In the end, right/left, democrat/republican, right-wing nutjobs/left-wing nutjobs, Tea Party followers/Coffee Party followers (haven't heard much about them, though), we are all still citizens of the greatest country on Earth. Geez, get a grip, quit with the melodrama, all of you!

I will miss the desert (Utah and Arizona) and swamps of Eastern Texas... not much else.

Don't worry, there is enough of both within the National Parks system. We're keeping that part.

You'll miss Texas Tea when gas costs $10/gallon (and the resulting food triples in price) in the Mid-Atlantic states.

Based on the number of polls, I have a recommendation.

"we'll" just charge you $1,000 toll to get there from the east coast, assuming you're driving there. Win/win!
