Wayne,
You often dreamily muse about an all red-state country. Here is one guys opinion on how it would be. Sort of tongue in cheek, but plenty of truth to it. The scary thing is that some people around here wouldn't mind the implementation of each of these things:
"So what would a red state-only America look like? Here are a few of my predictions.
The red states won by Bush would:
* Bring back slavery and take away racial minorities? and women?s right to vote.
* Criminalize homosexuality, being Arab and having Democratic or ?librul? views.
* Make it a law that everyone must be a Christian, have their foreheads branded with a cross and watch Mel Gibson?s ?The Passion of the Christ? every night before sleeping.
* Outlaw abortions so that even women who get raped have to carry those children. And if women die during child birth, well, that?s just God?s will, right?
* Do away with environmental regulations so they can drink more polluted water, breathe more contaminated air, live next to nuclear power plants and gain higher rates of cancer.
* Do away with taxes on the rich and big businesses and impose higher taxes on the middle class to fund their invasions of other countries.
* Outlaw unions and minimum wage and child labor laws so companies can go back to paying kids ten cents an hour to slave away 12 hours a day.
* Do away with companies paying for health insurance but keep a few clinics around where lower income people go, while making established hospitals only for the wealthy.
* Do away with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare and any social program that helps needy people.
* Pull out of the UN, break all international treaties and start any damn war they please.
* Bring back public hangings on courthouse steps that must be watched by every citizen, including children.
* Implement Big Brother cameras everywhere to spy on people, even in their own homes. "
