Over the last couple years, I have seen a shocking number of threads and posts proposing that the United States break into smaller, more homogeneous regions. I would like to gauge where this is coming from.

Feel free to weigh in on this at whatever length you want. It is a free country.

I see this thread has got off to a brilliant start, not as if that is unexpected.

maybe it's just natural fallout from the other side after hearing we're going back to the Civil War era and putting Blacks back into chains.

Keep telling people how we're going back to Civil War times and that's what they will do.

Yep, with people tracking down anonymous internet bloggers and schoolkids being punished for online comments the private consequences from free speech on the internet are getting a bit high.

My answer is we should return to a constitutional republican form of government with a federal government restricted to certain enumerated powers.

It may be time to consider breaking up. Nearly half of all voters did not vote for obama. If half of your people are going to be unhappy no matter what you do, maybe it's time to split in two. Then each half can be happy with their choices. I can't see trying to maintain the union when half of your people are going to be miserable no matter what you choose. It would be better to split up and offer a choice as to where to live. Then people could vote with their feet and feel good about their choices. It's clear we have different goals and they are too disperate to reconcile.

Oh, and my prediction is that this poll will be split. America is CLEARLY divided almost in half right now. The question is who gets which states. Some of us will have to move. If you're red in a blue state or blue in a red state, you'll need a u-haul. On the bright side, all of this moving could just move some real estate and get the housing market moving again.
