Wow, what? So someone's way of voting should decide where they live? That's pretty rude if you ask me, people can move wherever they want to & they can also vote however they want. I would never tell a conservative they couldn't move to my blue state for fear of turning it into a red state, that's kind of absurd.

There's a difference: Southerners identify themselves as such and proudly so, as well they should. Northerners do not. Southern culture is very much alive and is a unifying thread across the South. It tends toward conservative (as all people should) and values tradition a lot more. The South is where the true spirit of America resides. And I'm a Yankee.

I miss the 4 seasons when I don't have them and don't feel any connection to the culture.

David Copperfield is going to need a lots of mirrors, and a damn sexy assistant, in order to make them all seem to disappear.

We in the midwest will stay put. Hopefully we can secede from the east and west coasts, which seem to have lost thier work ethic and their minds at the same time.

Sorry, but barring a nuclear holocaust, there's no chance that the Northeast and Midwest will disappear in 10 years - or even 100 years.

If Europe is a trend model for America, maybe even a millenia. Populations will change, but there is really nowhere else for people to move in America. Nowhere viable, that is.
