Lu outlines her vision for Democratic Pacific Union

[dArKeR]

Vice President Annette Lu (???) yesterday spoke of the goals and vision of the soon-to-be established Democratic Pacific Union (DPU), and expressed confidence that the union would help secure the long-term stability of the Pacific region.
The DPU, which is Lu's brainchild, aims to serve as a platform for personnel and resource exchanges around the Pacific Rim and to promote democracy, ensure peace and spread prosperity.

"Without democracy, there can be no peace. Without democracy and peace, there can be no prosperity ... the three will be the core values of the DPU," she said.

1. Damn

I thought that Washington, Oregon and California were going to secede and form there own union. I woulda moved back to Oregon.

2. I see no reason why WA, OR, and CA should NOT secede. Don't

we make about 70% of the income for the US Treasury? If we secede the North East would follow. Then IL, WI, and MN would follow. Canada would join the new Union and we all would be connected. I-80 could be nationalized and even the South could use this road. It would be patrolled by a police force from a neutral country, say, Switzerland.

I think we should do it!!!!!!!!!!!!
