The question is not whether Kalifornia will survive but when it goes down hard will it take good states like Texas and Oklahoma with it into the cesspool of mediocrity.

Maybe Oklahoma, but Texas, when it joined the states, maintained an escape clause that allows them to pull back out without permission from Washington.

Texans don't like to be dictated to. For ex: one of my sons recently moved to the megalopolis of Houston - a well laid out, huge expanse of a city. Guess what? He says there are no zoning laws in Houston. Freedom works.

If Texas ever deciding to pull out and become it's own country, wouldn't that be a hoot. Other states may be unable to follow, but the people would sure set up a ruckus for the Socialists to get out of their faces...

So how come Texas is back in the Union? If their so-called escape clause was real they still could have told the Feds to take a hike in 1865. Or is this just a wet dream that some neo-Confederates like to cling to?

Well I am in a bit of a quandary.

My two older sons were born during my grad school in Oklahoma. My next three sons were born in Texas and my young daughter and son were born in Latin America.

So since I was born in Kalifornia I can with out as much of a hairs worry claim several states.

Kalifornia reminds me of the extremely obese 500 pound person who can no long physically function but consumes great amounts of candy and soda each day knowing full well that it will eventually inflate their belt line budgets and kill them deader than a door nail.....

Oklahoma still has some independence and so does states like Idaho, Montana, Utah and some I have probably missed.

Texas however is a different breed of cat. A good feeling just comes over a person when they drive across the Texas border.

It is a feeling of can do and opportunities not wasted on insane legislation and inane laws.

When Texas decides to reclaim their rightful republic I will of course ask for dual citizenship.
