    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    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.

    Well Im not surprised at Texas really. After all, IIRC it was the only state of the Union that was previously a nation before addmittance (as opposed to one of the original thirteen or a created state of the union)

    I hope to visit one day...how would a British cousin fare in the sunny south?

    I thought Texans were a bunch of stiff-necked Brits (not stiff upper lip mind you) genetically enhanced by some special chemicals found only in Texas. An Englishman should do just fine.

    I like Texans. They've got that bigger than life thing going on.

    Or as Bush said, "Some people call it swaggering - in Texas it's called walking."

    (If we're going to discuss this, let us focuss on the merits and not the detriments please. otherwise it's off to the Backroom.)

    California was a sovereign nation for three entire weeks, before the US Navy insisted on hoisting its colours here . And don't get me started on the Kingdom of Hawaii.

    But yeah, point taken, Texans, being large and from a large place, largely think large - and occasionally forget that anyone or any place else exists.

    D'oh, how could I forget Hawaii?? I guess I meant one of the earlier states to join the Union...yea, thats what I meant...

    I also thought that even most Americans didnt consider California's flirt with nationhood as actual nationhood?

    When asked if I am a Texan, I shall reply:

    A full 1/10th of the United States Marine Corps is comprised of Texans. I would say that they carry more than their share.

    Oh, look, Mildred...the Commonweal-ers are 'avin' a tiff.

    So, back on topic, why did the Texan/US southwest mind-set of limitless frontier take such hold in the 19th century and forward, when, given similar geographic expanse, such mindsets didn't prevail in Canada or Oz?

    My sincere apologies if this sends the thread to the backroom.

    I think the Aussies and Canadians are more laconic in their attitudes. So big talk is frowned upon and action is given the silent nod. NATO ... No Action, Talk Only is not a good trait to have IMDHO.

    In Aus the frontiers are so huge it is called the Tyranny of Distance... but I think you will find that the Texans fit in here at Aus pretty well, once they get over there Agoraphobia.

    Well if you're in Australia why would you leave the beach?!? As far as Canada, you'd need a lot of sled dogs.
