By 2015, Pennsylvania will annex Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Virginia and West Virginia. Once this happens, Pennsylvania will be home to the nation's capital and largest city, plus half its coal and natural gas. It'll have seven NFL and NHL teams, six MLB teams and three NBA teams. Going by 2010 Census figures, its population will be 57,397,879. Its new state motto will be, "Suck it, California!" and its new state bird will be the middle finger. The state anthem will be rewritten, drawing heavy inspiration from the former national anthem for East Germany:
Hail, hail Pennsylvania
Land of vine and grape
Land where you will regret
Any try to escape
No matter if you tunnel under
Or take a running jump at the wall
Forget it, the guards will kill you
If the electric fence doesn't first
In case you couldn't tell, there will be a big wall built around the state, and people traveling through will have to pay a $100 toll at the border. Cash only. If they do not have cash, then they will immediately be shot by the workers at the toll plazas. Oh, and I forgot to mention; Pennsylvania will no longer be known as the Keystone State. It will instead be known as the State of Bliss.
Consolidate all 6 New England states into one state called New England. Or at least have Rhode Island be absorbed into CT or MA.
Thomas Jefferson apparently did not like Rhode Island. "Because it was not much more than 1,000 square miles and hardly any agriculture, Jefferson added, Rhode Island did not deserve the status of a state. He predicted it would eventually be expelled from the Union or merged into Connecticut". (Six Frigates page 163)
In the 1600s, Connecticut did try to extend its eastern boundaries all the way to Narrangansett Bay, which would have pretty much wiped out Rhode Island in the process. Massachusetts also tried to get her hands on Rhode Island (and also New Hampshire). Its not so far fetched as it sounds since Massachusetts eventually annexed the old Plymouth Colony and Connecticut annexed the New Haven Colony.
But while Plymouth and New Haven disappeared into history, Rhode Island survived. Maybe this is because the founder of Rhode Island, Roger Williams, lived for almost 50 years after the founding and got Rhode Island off to a firm start.
georgians need to learn to use their water wisely! i would hate for georgia to get that extra bit of land in the north and ruin the area like they are so fond of doing.
What>>>> That land is Georgia's land, If some idiot moonshiner did not put the marker in the wrong place it would be today, all the evidence supports such. What do you mean ruining it????
At various points since the early 19th century, Georgia has disputed its northern border with Tennessee. In 1796, when Tennessee was admitted to the Union, the border was originally defined by United States Congress as located on the 35th parallel, thereby ensuring that at least a portion of the river would be located within Georgia. As a result of an erroneously conducted survey in 1818 (ratified by the Tennessee legislature, but not Georgia), however, the actual border line was set on the ground approximately one mile south, thus placing the disputed portion of the river entirely in Tennessee.
So, as you can see TN is the one to blame and the stingy state...And it should be rectified..............
