I don't want California to leave

For the main reasons, we have friends and relaives there. We, not in my immediate circle sense, but we as in globally. Also, economically, pollution aside, the west coast is cool.

But the real main reason why I don't want California or the west coast to fall into the ocean as others keep saying if a big one strikes?

California currently comprises the bulk of the contiguous west coast of the United States.
We lose California, we are then left with Nevada and Utah and Idaho, etc. Do you realize what this means? These states will then become the new west coast. It will be in no time that the new West Coast States will adopt the styles and ways of the previous West Coast.

I mean, come on. I do not want to see gangs in Utah. Last thing we need is a Mormon gang flashing gang signs of being West Coast. In the gang movie Colors, Ice-T said Colors, colors, we never die...we just multiply. Mormons? NO SHIT! They multiply real fast. And Idaho?
Drive-by potato'ing.

So no... don't let California leave.
