![]() The United States, in all its MSPaint Glory |
This is how I envision the United States of America. Many people, such as
people who weren't raised in California, see this as strange. They drone
on and on about learning simple geography in the fourth grade and how
"basic" geography is. Well, these people have zero understanding
of the California education system. Some would say that a Californian's
education is inferior; I, however, beg to differ (at least when it comes to
geography). Indeed, I think that the California school systems teach us
all about the place that really matters the most in the world: California.
The fact is, that in California, the only other
state we ever think about is Nevada; Nevada wouldn't be even a passing thought
if it wasn't for all the gambling and legal prostitution. Throw out Nevada,
though and we're clueless; the reason we don't think about other places is they
don't have a single thing to offer us. Californians don't need to go on
vacation to other states. Everything we want is here: California has the best beaches,
the best mountains the best pollution, the best basketball team (well,
usually...off year for the Lakers this year, bah.), Disneyland, Knotts, Sea
World, even wack ass Magic Mountain (don't get me started on Magic Mountain)-so
can you really blame us Californians for not acknowledging the existence of your
meaningless state?
You might notice that I have states other than California and Nevada on my
map. I keep the fact that I know other states exist sort of
hush-hush. Unfortunately I have a bad habit of reading and learning which
has burdened me with the knowledge of other states. The fact that I
contain such blasphemous knowledge is somewhat dangerous. I could be found
a heretic and find myself expatriated to Mexico and forced to live out the rest
of my life constructing piņatas that vaguely resemble Mickey Mouse (if you are
retarded or very drunk or high). The only reason I even dare acknowledge
all thirty states is because I am safely within the borders of Arizona.
And, really-do we need thirty states in US? No, of course not. Us
Californians have it right. It is for that reason that I propose a new and
improved United States of America that will more honestly reflect the views of
the best people in the United States-The Californians.
