I’m aware of the gold depository and think its a brilliant idea. I’m also well aware of the antics of the TNM, although I don’t follow them closely.
Secession is suicide. We learned that after Ft. Sumpter. Unlike the views of many of the keyboard revolutionaries herein assembled we don’t face a binary choice of secession or capitulation. The gold depository is a great example of a third way. How about several dozen encores? Texas can achieve an envious level of autonomy and freedom. But all of those measures should pull up short of secession.
That said, we have some really evil people in our government. I'm not sure we will ever turn this country around. Demographics will not be realized for at least another decade. Flooding this country with Muzzies, Messy-cans and who the heck else will be our downfall, financially, culturally, politically.
That said, Texas should be ready for any eventuality.
