We're Texans, and we didn't want the commie rat b*stids in the Federal Govt to be able to tell us how to use electricity. Back when the Constitution meant something, the Feds had no was of telling the states how to handle their electricity other than through the interstate commerce clause. Therefore, when the national grid went up, all the states had to sign off that they wouldn't cut electricity to other states (which explains the collapsing domino effect during power outtages). Also, remember a few years ago when the line was "when people in California turn on a light switch, people in Oregon pay the bill?" California prohibited suppliers from charging what it cost to produce electricity, so they had to up the rates in surrounding states, and could not refuse to supply California.

Some commie rat tried to sneak up and create a single line connection to Oklahoma, which would have put Texas under federal regs, but I believe the gov. threatened to kill the man and sent Texas Rangers out to clear up the mess. This is all off of memory from years ago, but that's the gist of it. Texas isn't under Federal regs because we have our own system, and we have our own system because that's the way we wanted it.

We have all the makings of a fine nation all by ourselves. Oil, gas, coal, seaports, our own air force, agriculture, water, resources, industry, Big D and Ft Worth for party time, Houston for mopping up all the lottery winnings, San Antonio for picturesque vacations along with Padre, ruby red grapefruits and oranges from the valley, great hunting, fishing, fat cattle and fine horses, and a church on every corner. God blessed Texas, no doubt about it.

The only thing we need is to oust the liberals from Austin. Clean that nest of cock roaches out, refuse to allow Demoncrats citizenship and we will finally have something to crow about.
