Better Off Without 'Em: A Northern Manifesto for Southern Secession
ha ha but unironically (the opening paragraphs of this book are a chilling and all-too-credible prophecy)

Without the South the rest of the US starts to look like a respectable Industrialized country. Our crime rates, education levels, divorce rates, pollution problems, etc, etc all look like we are an advanced European country.
By itself the South looks like a third world failed state.

Some that I love:
There's an interesting book on this subject (ok, not just California but still an entertaining read.)
I have this book and it has tons of ideas!

Pacific Northwest irony bros are way ahead of you.
Shit like this is why I never had the time of day for Chapo Traphouse.
Not so sure about that...
A native Austinite claims credit for it:
http://www.amazon.com/Keep-Austin-Weird-Guide-Side/dp/0764326392/ref=la_B001JS89N2_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1381814267&sr=1-1
And it was adopted by the Austin Independent Business Alliance.
I distinctly remember that phrase going strong before Californian & Dallas hating was en vogue.
So I just re-read this book this week, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Back to our regularly scheduled "WTF is up with the 'heritage not hate' crowd?" comments.
This is an excellent book that could be of some help. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0762760079/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_hohGzbZ4WQ41P

You could mail him a copy of the following:

Either will be worthwhile reads for your own sanity. It grates on me becasue our families did something NO ONE IN HUMAN HISTORY HAD DONE: we were the first people, along with England to outlaw human slavery. Hundreds of my family gave their lives and their health to make sure this happened.
Find your way over to North Perry Airport and get a helicopter tour. You'll never regret it.
Finally, Grab a Frommer's Guide and come enjoy!
I bought this book for a friend when she first moved to DFW and she loved it! It's a lot of the 'typical' stuff, but she's had a blast crossing things off the list.

Over 1,000 Miles from Big Cypress to Pensacola, through the sparsely populated center of the state. I have had the privilege to walk hundreds of miles on this trail and despite my deep love for mountains, remains one of my favorite places to hike.
I prefer north Florida (Ocala/Osceola are great for weekends/week long trips) but south Florida too has its own unique beauty often overlooked. There are many side trails, the Ocean to Lake Trail (65 miles) being a great one during the dry season.
I recommend dry season especially for anything south of Orlando, this year it is still very wet. For the south, elevation seems easy once you've walked in knee to waist deep black waters for hour after hour.
Some good books:
Hiking the Florida Trail: 1,100 Miles, 78 Days, Two Pairs of Boots, and One Heck of an Adventure
The Florida Trail - Guide book, though I'm not sure how dated it is, I still have my well worn copy and gives great side trails easily missed. Like the sink hole in Ocala with water basins still intact from the early prairie homes.
Regional/local maps are cheap and durable from the Florida Trail Org website.
Some things to be aware of: Water is vital and not always easily to come by, especially during dry season. Prepare as you do wherever you are. Iodine tablets in your emergency kits even with a filter.
Some things I've learned: It can get cold in Florida. So cold my 2 liter froze solid. It can also get hot, and calling it quits for safety was one of the best lessons I ever relearned. When it's 90 degrees, you're very low on water, the well is broken off at the base and your next source is 24 miles out, be smart. There are A LOT of bears in Florida, most are shy, but hang your packs like you do anywhere else there are bears.
This should help:

There are books on culture like Culture Smart. Britain - Culture Smart!. Then there are books for newcomers to various cities Newcomer's Handbook for Moving to and Living in Washington, DC
As far as web sites are concerned just look for expat forums.

It's uncomfortable to discuss, but that doesn't make it any less real. Most liberals are possessed of a vicious hatred for Republican voters. Most of it is in the privacy of personal conversations, a great deal of it is in the various corners of the comments sections of the internet, but an appreciable share of it is enshrined in halls of our booksellers.
From the general impugnment of Republican intelligence to talk of forced secession of red states from the union.
I'm not guessing when I tell you that the personal conversations that I have with the most strident liberals in my personal networks make no bones about their contempt for Republican voters.
And you know exactly what I'm talking about.
We'll be coming down I-75. So, it would be nice to find a trail towards the top half and/or west of the park. [The book] (http://www.amazon.com/Kentuckys-Land-Arches-Robert-Ruchhoft/dp/0940029006/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334535002&sr=8-1) you recommended looks good. Thanks.
Not a documentary, but I really enjoyed this book:

It was written by the upstart mayoral candidate and active SavNow commentor.

I recently finished the book Better Off Without 'Em: A Northern manifesto for Southern Secession and I highly recommend it. This article was a scant outline compared to that book, but it did hit some of the high points.
After having grown up in SC, living in the People's Republic of Oregon for several years, and now ensconced in the Northeast, I can safely say that the South really is a separate country from the rest of the US. All that really remains is to make it official.
I don't know if it's at all possible, but that part of the country is stubbornly holding a lot of social progress hostage. I'm all for it, myself.

You might enjoy this book.
Can confirm
May interest you.
Or this
I recommend this book: Better off without 'em: A Northern Manifesto for Southern Secession
The author humorly suggests that the South secede, to mutual benefit. Open emigration and citizenship on both sides of the new border for a period of time.
The U.S.A can be free of third world tactics that undermine its worker protection, environmental protection, and public infrastructure.
The C.S.A can be free of the wimpy libruls, turrists, abortionists, gun grabbers, sodomites, the ACLU, and critical thinkers.
It's a good read...
