Fsck the South
I’d recieved an email castigating the South and their so-called values from NHK a while back (with slightly different text) and thought, “That would be a great thing to put up with links to relevant information.”
Well, it looks like someone did it, and even got their own domain name for it. Fsck the South will make any liberal frustrated with the recent 2004 Presidential election quite happy. I agree with the sentiment, though I am looking for what I hope will be better solutions than just saying, “Fsck off,” to a good portion of the country.
One of the links they refer to I found particularly interesting was this one. It describes in detail why the notion that we have always been a Christian nation is patently false. The Founding Fathers were not very interested in religion, just as they were dubious of true democracy.
President Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1802, “The First Amendment has erected a wall of separation between Church and State.” In fact he actually took the time to create his own New Testament with all the non-real material extracted. The link is a very good read, and what I really appreciate about it is that it comes from a Christian religion school.
Good stuff. I’m glad someone put it out there.

Good luck. The more I think about the U.S. splitting up into four or five autonomous regions, the more I really like the idea—especially after spending some time looking at Nationstates.net. The union, I think, has outgrown itself. Fuck *compromise*.

who said anything about compromise? better solutions could include sending all the hippies into the deep south to distract them until definate plans can be laid. those plans could include anything from reducing our taxes going to the federal government for state welfare (”state” as in the red states that drain blue state taxes because their economies suck), pressing for very strict seperation of church and state, etc. neither requires compromise, nor should they.

Maybe it’s high time the *North* considered succession.
