    Sort of a moot point when it's only the crazy ones that want to secede.

      When my Texan family members come to visit, they always make jokes about how backward Kentucky is. I never get it, and this is why.

        Have fun seceding with the two of the largest cavalry and artillery installations in your borders. I know the Amarillo Good ol' Boy Patriot Militia just got sponsered by the local bar and are ready to rise again.

        Good luck Texas!

        Why would we want to? You seem to be assuming secession as something violent.
        Oh, are those Texas military installations? Pretty sure when I was stationed in Texas we worked on Federal installations, got paid by the Federal government and had a Commander and Chief from Hawaii.

        Sorry, the military capabilities you speak of are not Texas military capabilities but United States military capabilities.

          Well they have the State Guard which appears to be distinctly theirs and not as easy to federalize as national guard units are but if Texas wants to turn its State Guard into a defensive organization that can operate without the US military standing right behind it ready to eradicate anyone who looks cross-eyed at Texas than someone is gonna have to foot the bill for a rather large expansion and I see no reason for the US to do so.

Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

                Just like the whole world laughed at Scotland for democratically deciding to remain in the UK, or how the world will be laughing at the UK for democratically deciding whether they should remain in the EU?

                HAHA, people actually thinking that they are the ones who define what their nation is or is not.

                  Not always about Texas...think complete meltdown of our two political parties...if we start throwing blows at conventions we may have become a third world country.

                    More and more people are realizing the two party system is absurd, somehow managing to be both restricting and nebulous so we may be in the process of transitioning to a multi-party system like the rest of the world. Those silly Americans.

                        Only loonies would want to secede. The kind of issues people get pissy about are not worth:

                        A. A civil war - not like hundreds of thousands of human beings being held in chattel slavery vs. a massive economic system run by a small number of feudal lords that couldn't survive without chattel slavery

                        Or

                        B. The economic loss, the trade loss, the sactions, the frozen assets, the loss of support, the loss of a defensive military, and the general thousand foot deep sludge pile that would result if nobody wanted to bother with a civil war...

                        The loonies can hook their thumbs in their belts and thrust out their bellies all they want, everybody knows their just blowing smoke out their arse.
                        Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

                            I wonder how Texas would govern itself. I assume something like the US system, as in an elected president. How would Texas/American immigration work? Would people have dual citizenship, if so then who? Would existing Texas representatives, such as my personal hero Robert Morrow, retain their office?

                            It's really interesting to think about how all thia stuff would work, which probably means that it'd be steaming mess sorting it all out.

                              Those resources are in Texas and if they decided to secede, WHICH WE WONT, they would be theirs, cause I'd like to see you get all of that out of Texas. Alright now I'm going to mosey on out of this thread because we all know I get super defensive over my state and there really is no need for that.
