I Feel a LOT Patriotism for California but not much for the USA. I Believe that We Would All Be Better Off if The South was a Different Country. They Receive a Lot of Welfare Payments, Unemployment Checks and Food Stamps but Do Not Pay Much in Taxes.

 It's their Failed Economy that we are Bailing OUT... Year after Year after Year... Remember all those Brilliant Inventions Created in the South? Me Neither... OH! Wait, there was One... The Cotton Gin...

I Feel Even More Patriotism to the State of Jefferson... Southern Oregon and Northern California... YES, WE ARE DIFFERENT and Don't Have any Kinship with Kansas, Texas, Maine, West Virginia or Florida... I Feel Close to the People of Nimbin, Australia and Copenhagen and Amsterdam... But I don't Have Anything in Common with the Madmen in Washington, DC...
