"Seriously? We know you have a big economy—but do you really want to start over? With your own constitution, currency, army, international trade law, UN representative, NATO application, and all that?”
Yes!!!! Let them go. Let them ALL go! If we'd let the south go before the Civil War, we might well be living in a reasonable, non-fascist society without 300 million guns, without a right-wing supreme court and all the rest of the plagues that conservatism has brought to this country. I'm all for splitting, seceding or whatever. They want a white, Christian fascist police state? Let them have it. Then maybe those of us who want a reasonable, left-leaning, safe world can begin to create that.
Just wanted to let you know I'm still reading and still very much enjoying your work. If it's not my imagination - you are getting a bit more serious with the story, aren't you? I'm loving the added complexity, especially "Little Harlem" and the characters we met there. I'm anxious to learn more about all these latter-day Ghettos, and I appreciated the detailed, mini-description Crystal gave of how they came to be. Glad to know the Jews ran at the first opportunity! I do hope Lorinda gets to meet more of the whole, diverse crowd (I loved Sharon). Keep up the good work, kids, and see ya Sunday. -S-

This experiment has failed.
Hey, Guys,
Just wanted to let you know I'm still reading and still very much enjoying your work. If it's not my imagination - you are getting a bit more serious with the story, aren't you? I'm loving the added complexity, especially "Little Harlem" and the characters we met there. I'm anxious to learn more about all these latter-day Ghettos, and I appreciated the detailed, mini-description Crystal gave of how they came to be. Glad to know the Jews ran at the first opportunity!

I'm enjoying The Split. There, I said it.
