[QUOTE="Robert High Hawk, post: 1107479, member: 12429"] One quick last add: 1. Your first point is not very valid. For the notion of Federalism this isn't such an alien idea. If you read "Lone Survivor" Marcus Littrell makes it very clear that his first loyalty is to Texas, then the United States. Many people in Texas are like this. But I kind of see your point. The Olympic team argument doesn't have much substance behind it though. I guarantee you that if every state could have their own national team, just like Puerto Ricans they would put together some kind of hoopla every 4 years, purely in the realm of sports, and leave it there just for that. Interesting fact: Puerto Rico has won or finalled in the Miss World and Miss Universe pageant more per capita than any other country in the world. Let's remember what's important here!!! :banana: [/QUOTE]
