I really think Kansas should look to Virginia as a role model. The state of Virginia was looking around one day and thought to themselves, "We have this terrible portion of the state and we need to put as much distance between ourselves and them". Someone had the great idea to split the state in two and kick out the Western portion of the and their backwoods kin.
Do you guys think Kansas could do something like that with everything West of Salina? That part of the state is just dragging us down. Granted, West Kansas, isn't nearly as inbred and are considerably more educated than West Virginans, but every little bit counts, right guys?
