LOL! That was my first thought too. Maybe we should invest in an extension cord factory (that makes REALLY long cords) to we can make sure all the non-Texas FReepers won't suffer from withdrawals if it all goes 'poof!'

We are not being protected.
That’s what I thought, too. When you think about it, Texas is sort of its own country. When we joined the union, we kept the right to secede.
People are moving to Texas for numerous reasons - our economy is good, there are jobs here, we have a surplus in the state treasury. Our constitution requires a balanced budget so we can’t go into debt. Our constitution says marriage is between a man and a woman and we don’t recognize homo marriage. You can buy as many guns as you want and our law says you can use deadly force if you think your life is threatened. We also have concealed carry.
Liberals shouldn’t move here as their life won’t be happy. Homos shouldn’t move here, either, as they can’t marry here.
So, Texas doesn’t fit the mold of most states and that is becoming more and more important for our survival.
