South California, the 51st state?
by charvaka Mon Jul 11, 2011 4:34 pm
Just as it looks likely my native state of Andhra Pradesh will be divided, there is an effort to divide my current home state of California...

Hope the division happened when Ahnold was the boss. He could keep one mistress in north and the other in south and rule both states at the same time and say "I will be baaack!" Too bad he had to leave before "separation."

>>>> The idea has been bandied about for awhile, but leaving LA out of "South CA" and carving Orange County out of the greater LA area is pretty comical. The other problem our So CA proponent has is the cultural divide between affluent OC and the inland empire (not to mention the other "South CA" counties). I am not ruling out the possibility that a North/South divide could some day happen, but this conservative/liberal split is a weird fantasy, not to mention the fiscal problems associated with distancing yourself away from LA ( No Cal would get Santa Clara and LA to boot). Didn't read the whole article- would the capital of South CA be Fontana, perchance?

that joke made exactly zero sense and did not elicit even a snicker from me and a sample of 5 that I relayed it to.

At my level everything ceases to function :-) He would be inactive. If he refuses to oblige the law of nature in my presence, I would become Cryogenic and freeze him further.

I agree... a north-south split between Fresno and Bakersfield (and San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara) would make a lot of sense. There is no point in creating a new southern state if you leave out the largest population center / economic powerhouse of the south out of it.Kris wrote:leaving LA out of "South CA" and carving Orange County out of the greater LA area is pretty comical.
