Completely true. But it is an interesting thought experiment and provides some insight into our current system and some changes we may want to make.
- alttab 13y agoWe would have to change the American flag. Think about that for a second. There won't be citizen driven state changes in America, ever, without some form of revolt.
- ghshephard 13y agoThe American flag has changed 26 times since 1777, the most recently in 1960 when Hawaii's star was added. There are many challenges to breaking up California, "changing the American Flag" is one of the less significant changes.
- frostmatthew 13y ago> We would have to change the American flag. We've changed the flag dozens of times in our history...there's plenty of reasons California won't be getting split into smaller states but this isn't one of them.
- jacalata 13y agoWould you? Is the flag constitutionally required to match the number of states?
- warmwaffles 13y agoI did enjoy the thought experiment. It's just funny that it sounds similar to Gov. Rick Perry saying "Texas will secede"
