he read it like i did dragoness...that is what you said

I bet that was interesting. I mean I just see the pictures on the internet and how they do shows.

I wouldn't mind having lunch at the Crystal Palace Saloon. Looks like they have some good food to offer.

and just sitting there imagining that Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp, and his brothers use to play cards.

Now Billy the Kid, I don't know too much about. I know he was another gunslinger outlaw, but for some reason also hailed as a hero??

Yeah he did...even the governor Rick Perry has to acknowledge the building local sentiments.

President Rick Perry? I don't have a problem with it.

No one read you incorrectly Dragoness...you are quite clear in your wording.

If they don't want to be citizens of the US anymore why don't they move to another country instead of trying to create their own. They are the minority on this issue.


Reread it please and tell me where I said they are suppose to go to another country and find a place to make their own country.

As a Southern man I must say that when I have visited Up North Yankee land, I noticed that they are much more racial than we are.The "Rascist southerner" is a stereotype.

They've always ranked in that area!

You think that hearing Texas has one of only 7 balanced budgets is good.
What you dont realize is that they are doing it by cutting funding to programs.
In 2009 Texas has a budget shortfall of apprx 10 billion dollars.
That means in order for them to balance the budget this year they have to cut funding to programs by that much!

It is funny it seems like many countries have counties or districts that wishes to seperate themselves into a independent country.

I am German from Bavaria and Bavaria always wanted to be a independent country seperated from Germany. If it will ever happen, I doubt it, but some say "never say never".

I think it is just human nature that we always want something better. We are always searching a resolution that will satisfy our taste

I would just say take a nationwide vote to get a answer. This will resolve the problem and the people can focus on other things.

I also heard there are still quiet alot of islands for sale out there. The Texans could buy one and call it New Texas. I am talking about the Texans who want to have their own independent country.

Just ideas popping through my head.

You spoke well Dragoness. I understand what you said and the point you made.

No Krupa,
he said that if Washington did not stop invading states rights that citizens would start crying to secede.
When the Texas Congressional leaders condemned him for talking like that he changed his tune.

Ah hell let me find the article.

That tends to happen when they can't think of a rebuttal. YOU GO GIRL

this i agree with you on mirror

Ok, assuming that the majority of Texas was actually in agreement with the idea of succession (at present that is not so) what country do you think would allow that kind of mass migration? And just because people don't like the way our government is being run doesn't mean they think moving under another government is better, why should people not be allowed to determine their own government? I thought that was suppose to be the basis of our country. Mind you as I said it will never be allowed to happen wihtout civil war because their is too much money involved.

Racists are everywhere. Only in southern town do they split population and require each race stay in their "designated" areas at fear of death, especially after dark. Only in the south would a noose be hung from a tree to show black folks they better stay away. I can go on and on.... Only in the south would the lunchrooms in schools be segregated voluntarily, experienced that one when I attended school there.

There is a difference. In the south "it is the way it is" and nobody rocks the boat because the tension is too tight and they fear the break.

We have racists here but they know better than to act like those of the south because there are a whole lotta whites like me who go to bat for others who might possibly be discriminated against.

Thank you Dave.

Not wanting to seperate..but, it is really reassuring to know that some folks can empathize. If we do split off and you want to visit the friendly nation of Texas..I will happily pick you up at DFW and give you the tour...."Texas Friendly" is a life style...let's here them say that about Colorado...I lived there...never seen so many fat, ugly unfriendly people in one spot in my entire life...and I have lived all over...I got treated better getting mugged in N.Y and N.C

Would it be catastrophic if each state became a independent nation?

Some say that once married the relationship dwindles to laziness and sloppiness.

but if together in a relationship able to seperate at anytime then the couple work harder in staying together.

Now mind you, this is just a saying, for each individual and each couple is different.

so would it actually benefit America if each state would be a seperate country.

I mean the states is a very large country as a whole. California is practically alone the size of my country.

Been re-read and corrected and her idea is no more logical than the miss-read version.

Our children study all history. Just saying.

davey posted your post where you said to move to another country...so how did we misread you???? YOU said it

Actually I don't think it would be except that it would never be allowed to happen short of a major civil war. Nobody in Washington is going to allow that kind of loss of power and money. Not too mention it would be the loss of major world power.
