I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

So tempted to sig.Who's the Crazy secessionist now? All 24 million of us!!!! I'm very excited. Secession is better than sex.

'at's it. I'm moving to San Antonio in 4 years. Enough of this California teabagging. At last... a State that knows how to be a Republic.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

Seconded, Kurki.
I do have to say, though, that the 10th says nothing about secession.

Meh... read it a while ago, sounds like BS. Texas isn't actually going to secede.

Professor Panarin, IMO is watching too much american TV; but I won't be surprised much if a split occurs, at least electorally, along the lines he guesses - I'll give him that.

Worked real well last time.
Before the Civil War (which is what we call it in England) people were much more likely to say "The United States are .....": afterwards they tended to say "The United States is .....". You have had 140 years of thinking of yourselves as a single country. True, people in the US remember (some of) how the country started, but there is all the history in between too including at least four wars since 1865 fought as a unified country, a county that has become the world's only superpower. It is a lot to give up. In addition the Civil War casts a shadow still, doesn't it? Isn't some of this talk of secession a vestigal wish to re-fight the battles of the 1860's? And with this in mind, black Texans might be ambivalent about the notion of states rights given what that represented in the past. Finally, as I said, it did not work out well for Texas last time.
I know that Texans are like Yorkshiremen - their part of the country is distinct from the rest and much better but not many of either would want to declare independence and even fewer would take up arms to back up this independence.
If this is like a distant relative dragging up intimate family quarels then apologies.
We all learn from experience. Unfortunately we don't all learn as much as we should.

Vive le Texas! Vive la République du Texas!
Behold the Place Vendôme, Paris:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
It was commissioned by the Sun King, Louis XIV. Build by Mansart, the same architect who designed Versailles. For centuries, it has been one the most prestigious squares in Europe. The very centre of Parisian style and luxury.
Napoleon chose this square as the site for his monument. The colonne in the centre was constructed of the molten copper of the Austrian cannons after the stunning victory at Austerlitz, its bas-reliefs relate the story of Napoleon's Austrian conquests. Napoleon himself stands on top.
Chopin enchanted Europe's elite in his house on this square. Napoleon III, when he revived the Empire, chose this square as his living quarters. Chanel has it's headquarters here. The iconic style of the new 20th century female was designed here. The world's most famous perfume, Chanel no.5 - still the only perfume for a lady - was designed after the square, following exactly its elegant octagonal dimensions:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Louis XIV, Napoleon, Chopin, Napoleon III, Chanel. They constitute the grandeur of a civilization. But in this world, nothing is greater than Texas. And Grandeur recognises Greatness when it sees it. That is why, while the rest of the world did not even recognise Texas as an independent republic, France considered it her duty to offer her former colony Texas his rightful place under the sun. Right on the Place Vendôme, as a gift to the new republic, Texas was granted an embassy. Its first. Paris knows that Greatness deserves only the best, so Texas was gifted the most prestigious adress of all too: Place Vendôme 1.
Embassy of Texas
In 1842 this building
was the seat of the embassy
of the republic of Texas
By the treaty Franco-Texan
of 29 September 1839
France became the first nation
to recognize the republic of Texas
as an indpendent state between 1836 and 1846
Paris is the judge of who is deserving of a nation. If you have a prestigious embassy on the Place Vendôme, in the centre of world diplomacy, then who are Uruguay or Siam to say you are not a proud independent republic?
Today, the former embassy is a prestigious hotel. One can sleep in the offices of the Texas ambassador. The very room where I and Strike's sister will spend our honeymoon, forging a renewed Franco-Texan alliance, after I have forged a sixth République, and Strike has made himself president of a new independent republic of Texas.

A Texan is a Texan, black, white, or brown. Besides I'm just happy were rumbling about states rights. I know in my heart of hearts were not going to secede but I love the loaded language.

Are you sure? I don't think this is true of Yorkshiremen.

He has the best hair in the state but then again you can shine a turd but at the end of the day it's still gonna be a turd.
Perry is a tyrant. I can't wait till we elect the Jewish Cowboy.
Tejanos and Anglo-Texians fought and bled together during the revolution. I am confident in us.

Remember Goliad!
Yeah, I know they won't secede -- but if we can get a bit more of the attitude that "these United States are" and a good bit less of "the United States is" back into our government we WILL be better off.

Cool beans about the embassy! That I didn't know -- but I like.

I predict texas will go democrat in the near future.

Governor Perry? The Texas governor is called Perry?Gov. Rick Perry today joined state Rep. Brandon Creighton and sponsors of House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) 50 in support of states’ rights under the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Please tell me he is homosexual. Then I'm going to invite him over to declare Texas independent in Paris. You know, just for the headlines: 'Texas independence declared by gay Perry in gay Paris'
