Having multiple brain farts, I can't think of a word that might involve the people of the US petitioning or voting for the "reverse" or "forced" secession of a state.
Using the justifications listed in wikipedia for secession ( [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secession[/URL] ) and saying the justifications are used as reasons to force a state out of the union, is there a word for that? I mean, could the US choose to seperate a state from its union, close off the borders of the state, and isolate it as if it were a foreign state/country/whatever?
You know I'm talking about Utah, don't ya? And it's way beyond the gaming bill issue.
I say we call it a bad job to begin with, chuck it, and move on.
Sorry Zachary and other GP Utah citizens. You're welcome to move in with the rest of the civilized world if ya want. I know it'll be a culture shock, but I think you can handle it. :)
