As of this writing, (11/16/2008), the United States are anything but united. While they aren't fifty individual states with sovereign governments and laws unique unto themselves, they are certainly not united in thought. This country has clearly divided itself into two schools of thought: republican and democrat. While other parties do, in fact, exist and while those parties have some solid support from citizens of these United States, it is painfully obvious that we are a country clearly and hopelessly divided between these two "super" parties. So, while no one would benefit from a North American Continent that housed Canada fifty separate countries that formerly comprised the United States of America and Mexico, we all might benefit from one that housed four countries.

He began his political career in the living room of a radical leftist. He hasn't yet begun to lead this country of ours and there are a significant number of people arming themselves against what is perceived to be the beginning of an era that might easily bring armed conflict between citizens and the government.

Should the United States split evenly between the Leftist Democrats, who seemingly want, to pursue the path of Socialism and the Conservative Republicans who want, without question, to preserve the rights of American Citizens to live in an American that still respects the free market and the concept of smaller federal government we might all be happier people. Our respective governments could get on with the work that they
