The map reducing the U.S. to 38 States is the creation of C. Etzel Pearcy, geography professor at California State University, Los Angeles. The new boundaries totally erase the 104 lines currently separating the 50 States. Each State’s new name, chosen with the help of a poll of geography students, represents a physical or cultural aspect of the new territory. For example, Cascade (named after a major mountain range in Washington and Oregon), Cochise (named after the Apache Indian chief of Arizona), and Alamo (named after the mission in San Antonio, Tex.).

But, I still think the Free State Project http://www.freestateproject.org is a better idea. A plague on all the politicians, bureaucrats, and the parasites.

Interesting… I think that’s a good idea… it’d be a great way to show the culture that America really does have, and a good way to promote our past. I know here in New York, there’s city lines, but then there are imaginary lines (almost like the map), where each people group has their history in the city.. the Irish, the Italians, etc. Very cool.
