Kind of old but strangely prescient for the current election.

Best of Craigslist : "Dear Red States..." A Letter From The Blue!

As silly as that sounds, it's probably better for America to split into 2 countries. The republic and the democracy. It's ridiculous the amount of fighting, hatred and tension that these polar opposite parties attract.

The only problem with a 2 party system is that enevitably both sides think they are 100% right (meaning correct). Some of the smartest people I know can be found in both parties and some of the craziest people I know can be found in both parties.

If you can't see that both parties have a place and purpose you're not looking from a high enough spot.

And for what it's worth, Ozark sensemilia is some of the best pot in the world.

Red vs Blue Joke - Dear Blue States

I don't consider myself a Blue or Red. More of a Red, White and Blue which both authors should be too.

Still Growing,

Thank you for posting the response. It is amazing to me how both sides can be written up in such truthful sarcasm in such a way that they both are very convincing. In a way, this is exactly how the news media is behaving. Distill all the good, from your own party and put it on display in contrast to all the bad that you distill from the other party. Amazing!

To be honest, I like the rebuttal a bit more. It's a bit more truthful.

That was amusing. Although, Harvard and Yale ARE Ivies. That kind of makes me wonder about some of the other claims.
