I would like to thank the MODERATOR who changed "loose" to "lose".....Too many whippersnappers that love to POINT out trivial things...If I wasted my time proof reading every post and replying about EVERY grammatical error, well .........THANX MODERATORS! PS I am referring to the thread title....before someone points that out too......LOL.....

I liked Goldwater's suggestion; sawing off the entire northeastern seaboard. They're not really American states any longer, after all, but socialist, bureaucratic ones where individual rights are severely violated.

Default Too bad we're only confined by just two

Pick any two states in the South, it doesn't matter:

Alabama and Mississippi (my first pick)
Kentucky and Arkansas
South Carolina and Tennessee
Texas and Florida
.
.
.
West Virginia and Georgia
.
.
.
you get the idea

What's the point of this? There are definitely states and areas that I don't like - I'm not fond of the Deep South or the Northeast, for example - but I don't think the US should lose any states. A lot of people died the last time a group of malcontents took the idea of secession seriously...

California and Texas, because they use to much energy, and since they are the most populated states USA would save a lot more money. Yes I know... you could think that it was a five year old that typed this, but I couldn't think of any better reasons of taking away two states
