Here's my fantasy

I am so fed up with Republicans. I find myself with nothing but contempt for most of them.
They don't care about any thing but money; they don't care about anybody but themselves.

So here's my fantasy:

Let's offer Republicans a free move from wherever they live now to one of three choices:

Idaho

Texas

Mississippi (or Alabama)

They could all congregate in a place where they could put their philosophy of not
caring about community or others into practice. Let them all get by on their own.
They could have privatized schools, fire departments, police. No taxes.

What do you think?

They could leave the rest of us to create a society and community that cares about
the other guy.

It is mostly public land and a lot of it is pristine, or damn close which is necessary for the entire continent's health! (and it's too close to where I live!) Idaho also has the largest wilderness area in the lower 48. Send 'em to Texas or Alabama.

Maybe Kansas? Fewer Dems to move out, too.

I give credit to the great George Carlin for this idea.
