Let's redesign some states!

I would agree with this, but for one reason. The more split up we become, the easier it will be for the Fed to grab more power.

For instance, let's look at the recent Voting Rights Act ruling and subsequent actions by the Justice Department (where the Justice Dept didn't like the ruling, and is continuing to go after states using other means). The Justice Dept is pursuing class-action lawsuits in TX, which TX will defend. It's hard for even a state like TX to defend themselves against he might of the US government. It would be impossible for a mere 11 counties to do so. The Fed would simply outspend them.

Frankly, I'd be happier if we combined states.

CO-MT-NV-ID
AK-LA-TX-OK
MS-AL-FL
LA-MS-AL
FL-GA-SC
NY-NJ-PA
SC-NC-VA
MI-MN-IL

Stuff like that. Heck, let's use your old signature and have 5 states!

Oh that's cute. It's like you're from Texas but instead you're from California.

My comment implies I've previously heard the term, thus your assertion about not knowing what the term meant us incorrect. Congrats. I guess they let anybody on the Internet these days.
