No, the rest of America built it to keep out the Texans.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

I wonder how many militia guys are going berserk high fiving themselves? Oh wait they don't read the Onion. Darn.

Wouldn't mind a barrier between the US and California though, if we could wall out their mortgage defaults, unemployment, budget deficit, and most importantly, politicians.

Tyler, TX, Stanley's BBQ. Meat cooked so tasty that you don't need sauce.

Central Texas style BBQ doesn't use sauce.

It would be kind of nice if texas did secede. That way we could wait a few months for their economy and governmental system to crumble as sectarian warfare took over with millions of refugees fleeing a state that in reality is little more than a giant desert that was terraformed.

Then we could "liberate" them. It would be like Iraq, only funny and ironic.

I haven't noticed a lack of sauce in central Texas. We may be thinking of the same thing but using different terms. Now I have been to many a joint where you apply your own sauce as and if desired, but the indiscriminate use of sauce always reaches nuke strike levels on my plate regardless.

Texas actually has an economy right now with one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation. Compared to the Northeast, West Coast, and Michigan we are a job paradise. Plus, it doesn't have a billion dollar deficit larger than most most nations.

How's your state doing?

And if you think it would stay that way post secession then your deluded.

I live in maine. We haven't had an economy since 1970.

Actually it would likely improve, freed from the oppression of a 3 trillion dollar budget with attendant deficit. Texas Lone Star Dollars would be look pretty good in about a year vs. your worthless Yankee notes.

But I digress.

No wai. Every major business in texas is a global business and it has few successful manufacturing or natural resource ventures outside of oil. Lets see how well you do when all the military bases dissapear.

Also the bombing. Can't forget the bombing.

Other than deep sea marine, agriculture, technology, and aerospace you're almost completely right. We even make cars here. How about you?

Still beats a state with, er, no business to speak of.
Remember you sir started this.

Texas has no state income tax. I'm sure that would change. And if you think the IRS is bad, imagine the IRS with mirrored sunglasses, ten-gallon hats, cowboy boots, and sidearms.
