23. It's not just teapeople that are talking about a break up.

This progressive site has postulated that it may be time for a break up

http://www.irregulartimes.com/secedenow.html
It's an interesting argument. I really do see two nations when I look at the national red/blue map. Perhaps an amicable break up before any shooting starts is a good idea. I'm not talking about any kind of grade school B.S. about blocking international waterways or building walls, etc. (we don't tolerate the rethugs talking that BS about Mexico so we shouldn't do that in this case either)

Anyway, I think it's an idea that would be worth discussing rationally as adults.
