Kind of off-topic, but was mentioned, so I'll just have to say...
As much as I like the idea of a country called California, the chances of that are nil. The state is 6th or 7th in the world economy, if it were its own country. The US ain't turning loose of that cash cow for anybody. And all the defense work? It's like 1 job in 5 or 7. Why would the US buy airplanes, satellites, missiles, etc., from a foreign country? Ain't happening.

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
