I have only visited that fair (hot) state. It seems to me, you have hit the nail on the head.

Well, maybe if they'd been successful in seceding, the world really would be the way they like to imagine it.

But they didn't.

Reminds me of a particular exchange between Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam:

"But Sam! The War Between the States ended 60 years ago!"

"Ah'm no clockwatcher!"

History would have been interesting if you hadn't.

Speaking of independent states, Have you ever heard about the Vermont Republic that existed from 1777 to 1791? Quickand talked about it at Mtl meet up yesterday, I was stunned.

1977 to 1791? What, did they travel back in time?

Yes they did! They were bought by Montsnmags Enterprises, hence time traveling is mandatory!

Texas is not only a state, it's a state of mind, or, as the tourism bureau likes to say, "It's a whole other country".

Well, maybe my opinion doesn't count as I'm argentinian.... Anyway, I've met a few texans and they certainly speak their own language.....

Never mind. I was going to post a Wikipedia link, but you already did ...

There's nothing wrong with us Texans....

It's just that everyone else is soooooo short.

Pretty accurate ... although my wife is from New Mexico and people ask if she had to get a Visa to come to Texas.
