From 1803 and the purchase of the Louisiana Purchase, Montana has been a blight on the face of the Union and an economic drain on the rest of the country. Facts:
1) Montana's low population means there is no recycling facilities, creating mountains of broken glass and waste everywhere which endangers children. Over a million children have died from eating garbage since 1803.
2) Montana is the residence of choice for the tertiary weirdos and Luddite lunatics our society produces, from Ted Kaczynski to Ryan Zinke.
3) Western Montana is the locale of choice for militant white supremacist groups and extremist politics. In one swipe of the pen we can eliminate a hotbed of racial discrimination.
Please give this blight back to France.
