Hi, sorry for not contributing lately, I have been very busy. In my few spare moments, however, I have been outlining what will be a tremendously long essay on why we are all doomed. It may still be a while before I publish it, so try not to get too excited.

In the meantime, here's the next really, really (not) important debate of the week. We'll stick with the States theme. We didn't get much debate on the Texas-California question, so I will try to make the answer to this one less obvious.

OK, the U.S. has to grant full statehood to one of the countries below (assume that all of the countries have voted in favor of annexation). Which one should it be?

a) France

b) Mexico

c) The Democratic Republic of Congo


I know Beck hasn't put up the survey on the page yet, but that's all right, we're supposed to discuss first.
