not to be nit-picking, but Texas does have beaches. If running into liberals in TX bothered you, take a good look around California.

I have been to Texas beaches, no offense but they don't compare. The part of California I live in is not very liberal at all, but they do run the state. That was my point. The state of Texas does not have the problems California does because libs are not running it. I think you missed the point of my post.

oh we have our problems, most of which could be solved, but the Republicans are in charge. The Gov's big idea is to secede.

Well if they manage it I'm moving to Texas. Got plenty of relatives there that left Tennessee with Sam Houston.

But can they give Austin to California? Way too much crazy thinking in that town.

I have told my wife that if Texas were to do this we would have to move.

The Governor twisted the truth somewhat. Popular lore in Texas is that the state retained the right to secede when it joined the union. This is not supported by an examination of the agreement between TX and the Fed. Gov.

it was just some blatant pandering to the far right crowd by the Governor in the opening rounds of his fight with Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchington (sp.?) for the Republican nomination for Governor.

What Texas does have the right do is to divide itself into 4 state (plus one called "Texas"). But all the "new" states would have to stay in the union.

Now that would be interesting to say the least.

I am not sure about this being completely correct and Ernie can correct me, but I believe that Hawaii, even though a state each island has its own basic laws instead of one law governing the whole chain. Would that not be similar to Texas splitting into three or four states, but all are still in the union even though each would have its own rules and so forth ?
