Splitting Up The Union

Sacrificing The Great To Save The Small

Splitting Up The Union
Wikipedia

Hey everyone! It’s your good friend Andrew (Panama) Godfrey here with the last update on this mini-series I’m doing on making America great again. On this special final update I’m going to propose probably the most radical idea ever conceived. For such a radical idea I’m abstaining from going much into depth and not using any outside sources. This will be purely opinion, nothing more. In one fowl swoop I plan to change America for the better. This idea is so radical that I bet most of you readers will think it is a joke but, just to clarify, I’m dead serious. This idea of mine is not original and I don’t claim it to be. There is actually a book published about this very topic. However, I’m going to keep this short and sweet since we, Americans, all love short and sweet things that are easy to read.

This idea that I have is about splitting up the “Union” that we have so graciously made into the corporate wasteland it is known as today. That right, split up America in about 7-9 provinces or “pieces”. Now this may be radical to some of you but I promise it is possible to do. All the details on the plan are online, a whole slew of them really. Actually I just read that a Russian political analysis predicts it and I’m sure others do as well.

Around now, you're either not reading anymore or you are curious if this idea would work. The short answer is yes, splitting up America would actually be very beneficial for the union as a whole. With each province having its own government, they are smaller and thus it is easier for government to be aware of what is going on and, also due to smaller size, governments will be able to listen easier. Also, every province, if divided correctly, will have all of the natural resources and such in order to be a completely self-sufficient state within itself.

So there is my opinion: let’s split up and make it a little easier to fix the problems that are plaguing this country.

Expect a new format once this gets posted, a little more upbeat. Please share this blog with any friends or family that have some doubts on the way things are done around here. As always this is Andrew Godfrey signing off and telling all of you to have a great day.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
