Is there a state that we wouldn't miss if it stopped existing?

Utah- Helps get rid of those damn Mormons
Wyoming, Oregon, Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Main, Vermont, New Hampshire- All these we could do without

This thread needs a poll...

And I'll follow up Maine with DC. I know it's not a state but I think we'd all be better off if the place were simply wiped off the map. Turn the etch-a-sketch over, shake, start over.

As much as people don't like New Jersey it's not doubt that it's an important state economically. Dirty yes, people rude yes, not a good vacation spot yes, no large cities yes, but it is important.

Alaska & California? :laugh: There goes something like 1/3 of our domestic oil supply and a ton of refining capacity. I think we'd miss that.

you'd all also miss a lot of horse racing and horse related stuff, plus toyota camrys

what would we miss if your state disappeared? Those from New York and California need not respond, we know why you're there :)

Because we got sick of living in states that suck?

Texas - all the oil can come through Florida. We'd be screwed for a while, but we can recover.

Serious answer - MICHIGAN! Nobody ever needs anything from MI anymore. Bye-Bye mitten state. The salt mines have been closed for a while, they do some various metal mining, but not a lot. Detroit hasn't been a hotbed of automotive activity in nigh on 30 years. We might miss the funny talking people you think are Canadian at first but turn out to be yoopers, but not for long.
