[quote:bubba 658833:MV83NzI1NDZfMTE4ODI0NzFfOTUzRDc1NDQ=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 658864] Texas is a giant sage-brush infested dust bowl folks. There are a few nice areas, but most of it is nada, zip, squat and diddly. If you think you're going to be able to just find a nice little homestead in the New Republic of Texas, you've never been there. I think they should be allowed to leave and all of their ancestors who fought to preserve the union can just haunt the haughty jack-alopes till hell freezes over You seem to be the most ridiculous of them all. If thats what you think of Texas then YOU have obviously never been here, or you lived up in the Midland/Permian Basin area. And to the other poster, yes, we can become our own country without having to abide by the laws of the US. We have before and can again I have indeed been to Texas many times. Yea, go and make yourself a new republic...try making it on your own like you did 150 years ago on cattle ranching. Back then your population was in the thousands not the millions and you don't have the resourses to feed everyone there. Just remember that as a foreign country you no longer have the rights and protection of the US.
