Can't see it. Island nations don't tend to be joiners. My impression of the Brits from my short vacation there last year is that they are very attached to their island, and already resent the inroads the EU has made into their sovereignty. Going beyond what they've already given up is going to...

The evidence says otherwise. Yes, there's Atlanta and Dallas, but they're the exceptions. Notice that NC, for instance, as soon as its cities - Charlotte and Raleigh - started producing something else besides rural commodities, first were in play, and then turned blue. Hmm. When the "red"...

Read a little. Something other than Hayek, Mises (who was good on theory but lousy on real life, like his nemesis, Marx), and whatever stoopid bile is produced by the far right places you so obviously frequent. Liberty is an innovation of the advanced economies. Yes, after a while, the standard...

Those last two sentences are the classic apologia of backward, second-rate places. You sell, to the advanced economies, stuff to burn, and stuff they import because the products are the products of places where land is cheap. Just to round out your sorry economic education: nations are...

You guys still looking for a way to get around the will of the people? So desperate that you have to spew your stupidity every place on this board? You could all get together and live on some island in the Bahamas, put together a nice little dictatorship where y'all could decide to make any ol'...

Oh please. If you have capital and put it at risk, things will happen. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Better than being Mississippi, and not having any capital to play with anyway.

Are you being deliberately dense? RI isn't at the top of that list, first of all. Secondly, the ones that are are there because, generally speaking, their per capita income is lower than those at the bottom. Meaning, the ones at the top are, generally speaking, comparative economic failures...

The bigger states got to be big by being more successful economically. Don't tell me you never thought of that?

Limbaugh's in the title of the thread. Thus, the discussion. I believe it was you who brought him up. If you don't like the results, tough.

Your ignorance of basic economics and how a nation works is just bottomless. Check the following table: Taxes paid vs taxes received, 2005 ALL of the top 10 states save one on that list are states that you so richly characterize as "the rest of the country". If it broke up, guess what...

Wife: A lot of people went to the mall despite the bad weather, and they say it was great because it was empty... Echoes of Yogi Berra! "Nobody goes there anymore 'cause it's too crowded."

Does this have anything to do with the fact that Rush is a de facto deserter? Are you serious? Can you read?

The penalty for desertion in time of war is death, in every country on the planet. That would include Rush, Cheney, Rove, and Gingrich. As for their apologists on this thread, they will go to the Hell they so richly deserve.

I'm the one who voted for the NE joining the EU. Been a natural since the War of 1812, over which New England threatened to secede.

That's just cold, man.

SPH: Been in it forever in my income-generating account, no reason for it to be this low. Raises its dividend every year like clockwork. Simple, recession-proof business.

Technically, IMHO, a perfect setup for a selloff after the announcement.

I have to say, this msg board has the most humor, parody, & irony-impaired bunch on the planet. I bet most of you still think stocktrad3r is what his name says he is.

I think I might've been here for a week when I saw JH's amazing posts & realized he was a fraud, and that anyone following him was dumber'n a bag o'hammers. Or, as they say, a fool & his money are quickly parted. After all, someone's got to fund the market. Now I know who does.

Pathetic little loser. You really are.
