What about Vermont, eh? Nobody eber mentions Vermont! Nobody! Nobody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edit: Whoops, I got a little out of control there. But anyways, why should Texas secede from the US? It's not like they would do any
better as a new country. They'd have to make up all of the new laws, etc., and not to mention all of the illegal aliens who would seize the chance to come into Texas. And what about the people living in Texas? What are they supposed to do, pick up their house and drag it to California? Huh? Huh?
