One of my overseas-nieces studied law in Austin for 1 year.
We all thought, she was incapable; but, she managed.
As far was we know, she liked the place.
I filmed a Disney afterschool thingy outside of Austin years ago. We were at a lake - really liked it there.

Brought back a case of Shiner Bock for all my Texas friends in L.A.

You never posted a counter point.

Have you been to Kansas?
Reality is the counterpoint.

You chose to ignore it.

I take that as a no.

So you have no idea about Kansas - so your opinion regarding it is irrelivant.

Texas will never secede. They put on a veneer of independence but their leaders are a part of the system like everybody else.
If they keep giving the idea lip service eventually the people of Texas will have a republican primary frontrunner with a plan to build two walls.
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

It's like a metaphor for the Republican party strategy for the past generation. Radicalize the base through talk radio and fox news by presenting a completely skewed version of reality for about twenty years and then look shocked when the people elect try to elect a nutjob who embodies that reality. Echo chambers produce voters and nutjobs.

Ok.....moving back to the Topic slowlllllyyy.....slowwwllllyyy...Texas Independence..pros of letting go versus con of letting them go..Pro...well right off the back there is the relief of having to deal with thousands of illegals who come from Mexico...let an Independent Republic of Texas deal with the problem.

The savings from being able to dismantle Lackland AFB and Ft. Hood. Redeploying Ft Hood troops to Ft. Sill in Oklahoma would be a financial boon to the local economy, same as the Lackland personnel to Air bases elsewhere.

Cons....well..we'd lose Texas oil production, fishing in Galveston Bay..and Bbq oh that Loss would be devastating...prices would skyrocket

After Texas secedes, it would spur a secession movement that would steam roll through the next decade.

How many people does Iceland have? or Luxembourg?

Different circumstances, Iceland and Luxembourg are totally dependent on trade with Europe. Can you see West Virginia on it's own?

Why wouldn't West Virginia maintain trade?

Would your ideal Independent West Virginia give the boot to all blacks and legal immigrants? Or just illegals?
