HOTS
California Split… On November 6, California voters will vote on whether to become California, Southern California and Northern California voters by splitting the state into three states, pending U.S. Congressional approval. HOTS supports this, of course, due to a myriad of intellectual reasons that boil down to “Why not?” However, HOTS recognizes this will mean California, Southern California and Northern California will have to come up with their own flags and other stately paraphernalia. To prevent fights, HOTS suggests dividing the iconic bear flag up so that each state gets a grizzly piece of the bear. HOTS also suggests a televised Californian Olympics to decide which state gets to remain the Golden State and which states have to settle for Silver and Bronze. Finally, what with Calexit suggested last year, HOTS thinks one of the three resulting states should vote to secede from the Union to further confuse schoolchildren. Sadly, although Californians may vote to divide and conquer, HOTS thinks it’s unlikely Congress will approve since a split would triple the number of suntanned Californian Senators. |
