If you have to pick one U.S. state to be "erased" from past, present and future, which would it be?

Only pick from the 48 contiguous states but NO Rhode Island (too small).

Explain your choice.

Update:

Umm... FYI, I don't take any liberal arts clases anymore, I fulfilled my requirements for my engineering degree. ITS JUST A FRIGGIN QUESTION!

Update 2:

None is not an option--question is if you HAVE TO, gun-to-head, life-threatened, HAVE TO pick...

    If the Germans and Japanese call in the bonds due to overspending, there is parts of Texas, particularly one ranch I would give them to pay off the debt.

    I would say the State of Confusion would be the one to erase. Since the Continental Congress devised the Union of the 13 colonies against King George, the smallest and the most unsucessful state to want to be part of the original colonies was Confusion. However, after some long drunken discussions in a pub in Philadelphia the founding fathers considered Confusion could be construed as a state whereby the Redcoats would want to storm first. So they renamed it Boston Massachusetts.

    I would like to mention that Its still confused, and borders Rhode Island.

    California, It is a den of eniquity. They let violent gangs roam free, and when the cops do manage to arrest one of these worthless bastards, the stupid liberal judges out there have them back on the street before the ink on the arrest report is even dry. Also drug abuse murder robbery and all sorts of violent crimes occur there with out much deterence. Also, homosexuality runs rampant in that state. We would definatly be better with out California.

    Erased from the past, present, and future, eh? Well, I would have to say.... Alabama. Alabama is a useless state. Haha, kauaigal AND because of all the inbreeding.

    Just my personal taste, but after being stationed in the deep South for several years I've never missed any of it since leaving (Alabama,Georgia,North Carolina, etc.,.)

    State of Confusion. No explanation needed.

    Sounds like a homework question for a philosophy class. If so, any answer but your own is worthless -- zero credit!
