Should the US split into two countries?

[GunnerJacket]

What's this talk of splitting?!! That's not 'merican!!

I say we mount up on our Hoverounds and drive northward to absorb Canada. Take advantage of their innate politeness such that by the time they realize it's an invasion we'll have already assumed control of their petrolium resources and convinced them it was a cultural eventuality so just deal with it!

Similarly, quit pussy-footing around with the larger Carribean islands! Absorb them all and make one massive theme park, interspersed with military bases and futuristic island prisons that can host "To the death" versions of Survivor! The southern tip of this scheme will involve dipping the world's largest straw into the Venezuelan reserves in a move to relieve Chavez of his money maker!

Finally, grant US amnesty to every citizen in Mexico, even if they weren't planning on emigrating! Then declare that the same measure means the US now extends from the north pole to Guatemala. (Note that as part of this merger the MLS team Chivas USA would have to be dropped to Mexico's second division in favor of the larger parent club.)

The new country will be called NAFTA, or better still we'll let the name be up for bid like modern stadiums.

Yeah. Just like Vespucci envisioned.
