So i took the 70 from Wheatley to Carlisle and re-entered I-40 to get into Little Rock. Sir, that was one of the WORSE secondary roads i've ever been on. Downright dangerous. It's pitted so badly that one can easily lose control of his car and go right over into the boggy swamps because there are NO shoulders.

I won't even go into how bad the 40 is between Conway and Ft. Smith (even though they've done some improvements). That was just atrocious.

Arkansas? Nahhhhh....forget it.

Just you keep that thought. Better yet, tell your friends and neighbors too.

No secession thread is complete without Casper coming in with his William Sherman scorched earth fantasy.

The hilarious thing would be, the South would secede and still lecture us about morals.

Even though Red States have higher divorce rates, higher rates of unwed teenage pregnancies, and higher rates of porn purchases.

The ONLY thing the South succeeds at is creating minimum wage jobs with no benefits or sex industry jobs, if you have the body and lack of class to work at a fancy titi bar catering to rich 1%......LOL

I have heard the South would also like to secede over a very long time 2 decades at least.

Same talk about just Texas..

Me: I don't know..
A little longer than that actually. I'd put the date at somewhere right around 1861 or so.

There's nothing wrong with voting with your feet. I believe people should live where they want.
