The United States has more mass shootings than any other country. Yes, and we also have more toilets and iPhones. That’s because we have 320 million residents in one country, third behind China and India. We have more shootings because we have more everything.

Our State populations are as large as these countries and our State economies are as large as these countries.

If Americans have too much compared to smaller countries, the obvious solution is to break the United States into smaller parts that would more closely equal the size of other countries. The technical term for this is “secession” which I believe was considered briefly around 1865, but came to naught. Perhaps it’s time to revisit the concept? Blue states could become socialist countries with strict gun control and red states could become free countries with lax gun control, a win-win.

Of course, that would mean Liberals would give up wielding power over the whole nation, they’d be stuck ruling smaller and smaller fiefdoms. Is the chance of equality worth the loss of dominance?

I’ve never much cared for conspiracy theories – but the more you look into the American Lefts rhetoric, the more it makes sense that they’d want American children to be illiterate at math and history.

As far as secession girls? We’ve looked at it on this blog before, and even more before that, and I have a feeling we’re going to look at it again.

    people in MN have been listening to Garry Keillor to long – where it counts MN hasn’t been above average for a long time

    for overall graduation rates ranked by state: MN is #30 w/78%, CA is # 29 w/78%, IA is #1 w/89%, TX is #3 w/88% and WI is # 5 w/88%

    for Hispanic grad rates: MN = 53%, CA = 73%, IA = 77%, TX = 84%, WI = 74%

    For white grad rates: MN = 92%, CA = 86%, IA = 91%, TX = 93%, WI = 92%

    for black Grad rates: MN = 51%, CA = 66%, IA = 74%, TX = 84%, WI =64%

    Now for the fun part, per pupil funding: MN = $11,089, CA = $9,220, IA = $10,313, TX = $8,299, WI = $11,071

    If BLM were honestly looking for wrongs to redress they would start with the school boarda of MPLS and St Paul school districts with a focus on ousting the Democratic Party rent seekers to be replaced by citizens who actually saw the benefits of an educated citizenry.

  2. and if you were looking for proof of institutional racism one need look no further than Education Minnesota and their members!

  3. I had a friend once tell me that Americans are 5% of the world’s population and consume 25% of the world’s energy. I told him that we also produced 25% of the world’s wealth.
    Silence, both stunned and golden, followed.

  4. Joe:

    I hate to be a nitpicker, but wasn’t the secession thing tried in 1861? The war ended in 1865.

  5. I have respectfully retired Old Glory. The country it once represented is gone, and will never return.
