Florida is a national embarrassment and should be returned to Spain. John Quincy Adams said it served "no other earthly purpose than as a post of annoyance" before we bought it in 1821, and today it serves only to provide absurd crime news.
Benefits to the U.S.:
* We'll have no state where it's legal to shoot someone for being black or for texting in movie previews
* Decrease in law enforcement costs to combat incidents of defecation and naked rampaging at fast food restaurants
* Giant Burmese Pythons and face-eating zombies will become Spanish problems
Benefits to Spain:
* Florida's economy is 1/2 Spain's GDP. Spain's unemployment is over 27%, Florida's is 6.7%.
* They'll receive skateboarding goats
Giving up Florida will restore our dignity. And Spain could really use it.
