Stop at the Walnut Bowls Factory Store, pick up some bowls (you cant have too many) and a new pocketknife (ditto). Get back on the highway another seven miles and there youll see it, right past Exit 123, across the highway from the Happy Trails RV Park.
Its a billboard (you can have too many) reading, Consider a contiguous 5-State secession TX-LA-MO-MI-OK. What are the pros? What are the cons?

(58,685 posts)I think it is some kind of hybrid of the AMA symbol with the "Don't Tread on Me" snake superimposed.
I think it's associated with the anti-Obamacare crowd. When I see it, I always think of the "Get your government hands off my Medicare" crew.

(44,577 posts)I think they meant MS instead of MI -- which makes them look even MORE ignorant, unfortunately!

(58,685 posts)why are they using official US Post Office abbreviations?
Are they expecting mail delivery to NOT be affected by seceding?
