Just a reminder, we do not discuss secession on the forum.ddstuder wrote:surprise_i'm_armed wrote:We should not add a 51st state.
It will screw up the nice 50 star flag we have now.
With 51, we'd have to go with 3 rows of 17 stars each! :-)
SIA
When Texas secedes, they can still have a pretty flag with 50 stars!
I thought NYC was ruled by gangs, and that's why they need to get guns off the streets by making the law-abiding into criminals for owning them.jimlongley wrote:Maybe at the same time we could finally accomplish the split of NY and make it 52 stars instead.
A very long time ago I was peripherally involved in a movement to separate NY City from the rest of the state so that upstate was not being ruled by NY City politicians. Still seems like a good idea to me.

I've never understood that. In Illinois, 80% of the state population is Chicago metro, so it's understandable that Chicago controls Springfield. But NYC is only 43% of the state's population; how do they continue to control Albany?jimlongley wrote:Maybe at the same time we could finally accomplish the split of NY and make it 52 stars instead.

I think he means the true Northern California -- way up above San Francisco, starting about Redding or Red Bluff up to the border. Otherwise known as the lower half of the Great State of Jefferson.pbwalker wrote:Only if both fall off in to the ocean.Fangs wrote:How about Northern and Southern California?

Because, like "Chicago metro" which includes areas out as far as Rockland, Aurora, and Joliet, they also get Long Island and "upstate" as far north as Nyack. If you include Suffolk, Orange, Rockland, and Westchester counties in with the five boroughs the representation becomes much more disproportionate.chabouk wrote:I've never understood that.
