Married, but as a group marriage polygamous. The cost of providing security for the First Family should bankrupt the state.

I hate driving, really. And all these cars make me worry. Need MUCH more public transportation. And autonomous vehicles can't come fast enough.

I love them all. We'll, except The Empire Strikes Back; that was meh. And maybe Episode II, all things considered. But I didn't dislike any of them, persay

South Africa - It's certainly not the North Africa. Nor is it East Africa. It's close to West Africa- just head a bit South from there.

Cars - A rather random movie to ask us about, no? Never seen it, personally.

Star Wars - Always a fun time. When you need to binge a series, it's right up there with Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones, and The Godfather.

Independent Nation - No, the sovereign state of Saskatchewan sounds bit silly, alliteration notwithstanding. But if Western Canadian provinces don't eventually get a fair deal on equalization and representation in the Senate, I would support a Western Canadian state.

I'll be having steamed clams and I will be drinking pink lemonade.

South Africa has seen quite a bit of political turmoil recently. Their corrupt and largely unpopular president was just deposed, and the new president is planning to seize the land of white farmers in the country, a move that I think will simply increase racial tension in the country and further destabilize it. While I understand the plight of black South Africans during Apartheid, I think reparations are a better solution to paying them back for what they as a people had to go to instead of seizing the land of white farmers, even if that seizure came with compensation.

Because I live in the suburbs, cars really matter where I live, which I think is a mistake. The US has gone the wrong way when it comes to how it incentivized car usage after WWII, which became even worse in the 70s due to whites moving to the suburbs. Cars really shouldn't be used inside of communities, and I think cities would benefit massively if they focus more on walkability and on public transportation instead of continuing to rely on cars, which reduces social cohesion, worsens the problem of climate change, and creates quite a bit of pollution. In fact, I would go as far as to say that cars just should not be allowed within cities.

I cannot comment on Star Wars because I have never watched it. I just don't watch many movies in general.

As someone from California, this is an interesting question. And while the idea of independence is interesting, it isn't going to happen. States inside the United States cannot leave the United States, even with the consent of the people, at least to my knowledge. But it would be interesting to see California become a lab for leftist ideas. Even more so for a possible independent Cascadian state.

And to add onto the bonus topic, because I am also from Iraq, I think talking about an independent Assyrian state would be interesting, as my ancestry comes back to Assyria. While I would prefer for the traditional Assyrian homeland to remain as a part of Iraq, I would support Assyrian independence if Kurdistan becomes independent and encompasses the Assyrian homeland, as the Kurds have historically massacred and discriminated against my people.
