don't sweat it. you guys can settle up at cosmic cowboy's ranch.I would make a bet, but since if I won one or both of us would probably be dead, there's no point.
Not to mention that the likelihood of us checking this website 30 years from now is slim.I would make a bet, but since if I won one or both of us would probably be dead, there's no point.
Also, if your Doomsday prophesy comes true, I have no idea what currency we'd have to use to bet with.

Seriously, when a guy is so rich he can buy heaven and raise horses on it, clearly marginal tax rates are too low.
Speak for thyself! Ranch and horses are not for me, thanks.Then again, I'm optimistic enough to think I won't need a fallout shelter in the next 50 years.
You know ES, you might be able to afford one if you go halfsies with DarkReign
Suggestion.Also, if your Doomsday prophesy comes true, I have no idea what currency we'd have to use to bet with.
Grams of gold.
Crap...Fort Knox is in a blue state.
No wait...Red State...Yea!
Eh, gold is a stable form of currency, but I think food and water might be more useful in the Doomsday case... or bullets
The libs really do think that we just ranch and farm, don't they? There are bio-tech corporations and high research conducted in the south. Believe it or not, we don't truck in thousands of gallons of water and awesome high tech stuff from the holy capitol of the world, New England. We also don't all work on farms in cowboy hats. Places like Atlanta, Houston, and Dallas have an enormous corporate presence. Dallas, Houston, and Austin are leaders in different things like space, nanotech, and heart research.
I don't like to pick sides in re ed partisan things, but trashing the south shows how ignorant you are. Also, any split that occurs will be nullified over time as people will shift into a new political spectrum. There will be degrees of right wing and left winged things, just as you see in conservative (Japan/UK/Australia) and liberal countries (Europe). Their populace doesn't exist in some state of bliss. The lefties that hate the right will just end up hating the not-so-left and so on.
"houston ... space"
of course, Texas seceding from the Union would cost it NASA, which Big Bad Dem LBJ forced into Houston.
red states are net receivers of federal funds, while blue states are net contributors. so let's see how well the red-states do without being subsidized by blue-states
Atlanta was a pretty purple area... not all red.
Also, I'm not arguing that Texas doesn't have great medical research, etc etc etc. I lived in San Antonio after all, and met my wife there. You're barking up the wrong tree.
But you can't argue that most of the schools that are on the higher end are located in blue areas (Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Yale), just like you can't argue that the majority of ranches are in more red-state friendly areas. That's just how it is.
