Reply #8: I think it would be good to break up the power structure.

Right now so much power is centered in Washington that there is no way to challenge it. What if there was another nation to the West founded on similar principles but controlling the same amount of wealth and military might? Not a Tea Party country or a hippie country, but one split up the middle on the continental divide containing elements of both. I think clowns like the PNACers and their preemptive wars, torture and laissez faire economic policies would be more hesitant to throw their weight around the world if there was a neighbor on their border that didn't approve of their fascism and maybe could ally with Canada to put on some leverage to help keep the Eastern USA in place.
