realist:"I noticed you have California split in two, it's the wrong way. If you were to cut Oregon, Washington and California right down the middle you would find that those on the east side would be well aligned with Idaho and Nevada. However the portion along the coast just needs a good earthquake to all into the Pacific.......they will not be missed..........well most of them at least..

BTW you might Google the state of Jefferson! I can only wish...."

The notion of a large land sliding into the ocean... No. Tearing away from the mainland, yes. Similar to what Japan is like.

The destruction such a event would cause would finish off whoever was left, post-SHTF. If it was to happen before a SHTF event, it just might set SHTF off, under OUTLAW or TICKERTAPE.

As to "Jefferson"...yes, the Six Californias Initiative.

Jefferson

Northern California

Silicon Valley

Central California

Western California

Southern California

The measure was slated for 2016, but the power junkies had just enough on the ball to know this would cut into their fat checks and fatter privileges.
