Splitting Up The Union

Sacrificing The Great To Save The Small

Splitting Up The Union
Wikipedia

Hey everyone! It’s your good friend Andrew (Panama) Godfrey here with the last update on this mini-series I’m doing on making America great again. On this special final update I’m going to propose probably the most radical idea ever conceived. For such a radical idea I’m abstaining from going much into depth and not using any outside sources. This will be purely opinion, nothing more. In one fowl swoop I plan to change America for the better. This idea is so radical that I bet most of you readers will think it is a joke but, just to clarify, I’m dead serious. This idea of mine is not original and I don’t claim it to be. There is actually a book published about this very topic. However, I’m going to keep this short and sweet since we, Americans, all love short and sweet things that are easy to read.

This idea that I have is about splitting up the “Union” that we have so graciously made into the corporate wasteland it is known as today. That right, split up America in about 7-9 provinces or “pieces”. Now this may be radical to some of you but I promise it is possible to do. All the details on the plan are online, a whole slew of them really. Actually I just read that a Russian political analysis predicts it and I’m sure others do as well.

Around now, you're either not reading anymore or you are curious if this idea would work. The short answer is yes, splitting up America would actually be very beneficial for the union as a whole. With each province having its own government, they are smaller and thus it is easier for government to be aware of what is going on and, also due to smaller size, governments will be able to listen easier. Also, every province, if divided correctly, will have all of the natural resources and such in order to be a completely self-sufficient state within itself.

So there is my opinion: let’s split up and make it a little easier to fix the problems that are plaguing this country.

Expect a new format once this gets posted, a little more upbeat. Please share this blog with any friends or family that have some doubts on the way things are done around here. As always this is Andrew Godfrey signing off and telling all of you to have a great day.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
