Why the WSSM?

So you might be wondering if I like the US so much why would I want to divide the Union up?

Simple. I like the West better and my loyalties lie there.

Just as the Eastern sea board seemed to be upset with things not going their way in the last election (not all, but there was a pretty vocal outcry on late night programs and such based in New York), I'm personally tired of people over there telling me how to live my life and what I can or cannot do with my property.

I also feel things are better taken care of at a more local level than when you have an entire continent. Or at least a big chunk of it. With the nation's capital over in Virginia and Maryland, I think the Western States, since they're farther away, get a little forgotten about- outside of California. The country is bigger over here, and each state definitely has it's own culture, just as I imagine the Eastern States do. So, wouldn't two smaller nations help to preserve the cultural identities of those states better than one huge, all-encompassing nation?

I also think the East Coast should be able to make their own decisions without the Californians or anyone else screwing with their stuff. Hell, we have enough troubles with Californians without throwing in people from back East wanting to get involved! Seriously though, there are problems over here that I think often get overlooked, just as there are problem over there that get overlooked. If we were able to take care of our own a little more both sides of the Mississippi would have to benefit, wouldn't they?
