Which state would you sell?

[yeartolate]

Well good riddance!

We'll take our $970 gabillion dollars in oil and divide it equally amongst all 625,000 of us.

But do you realize how much land you are giving up??

Now that we have a state to sell...who do we sell it to?

Saudis ot the Chinese?

Chinese could use a place to annex their billions of population and their proximity to Russia could prove interesting.

I thought most of Hawaii already belongs to the Japanese?

Penny

We joke about that too!

 

[Nomi]

Aw, common, you know you want to sell Alaska to us. I mean, come on, it's attached to us already. Think of how easy it would be!

 

[Zippa D Doodah]

I vote we sell New Mexico

Oh like you guys have the money. What are you gonna pay us in, hockey pucks?

No way can they have Roswell!

 

[pr surfer]

We could always sell off Puerto Rico or the US Virgin Islands (no offense to anyone - I am just being hypothetical based on the topic - not that I am endorsing selling off any thing or anyone)

nah, they're strategically located for defense.

How about Oklahoma?

 

[Planogirl]

What, go ahead and completely displace the native Americans that live there? And NOT Arkansas! Arkansas is beautiful and my escape.

What about selling Utah or Idaho? Or maybe Florida and turn into a real Caribbean destination?

What, you don't want hockey pucks!? In any case, we'll be paying 'ya in Canadian Tire money, eh?

It's not like Canada is one of the worlds wealthiest nations or nothing....

Ok. We will give you Rhode Island, but you have to provide health care for all of our uninsured.

I have to agree with Planogirl. Arkansas has some of the most beautiful natural beauty you'll ever see. Besides, the Duggars live there. You can't sell off the Duggars. Oh yeah, and my mom and brothers and sisters live there too. I can't see getting a passport to go 4 hours away.

What if we sell off Mississippi? Would that make Brett Farve a foreigner?

 

[Barbossa]

Utah, that is one boring state. I doubt you would get much for it though.

Can we keep the ski resorts?

Thanks, Planogirl! The Five Civilized Tribes, forcibly marched to Oklahoma from the East (including a forefather of my own) that were promised Oklahoma until the waters no loner ran, might be a bit unhappy about being relocated once more, especially to repay the US debt. In addition, Oklahoma is the third highest producer of natural gas in the US, which makes us an important alternative energy supplier for the future.

I agree that Arkansas is beautiful; I love Eureka Springs.

Where do you plan on moving them to.....Nevada?

WOn't work anyway. Mormons will never give up the Tabernacle.

I would give up ES, we live in the same county and NEVER go there. It is a traffic nightmare.

We go every year for Thanksgiving. No traffic there that time of year.

Parts of eastern Oklahoma are awfully pretty too plus you have that amazing monument in Oklahoma City. Nope, Oklahoma has to stay.

We *should* have a very colorful fall this year.

I lost some friends in the Murrah. Thank you for mentioning that. I pray the monuments for 9/11 invoke the same sense of awe as the one in OKC. The Memorial reminds of the wisdom of Thornton Wilder's Our Town and all the sadness that each of those chairs represents.

Since we're all dreaming here, I'd move 'em closer to SoCal.
