As parliamentarian of our county Republican Party, I have often led our group in the short, sweet, and historically ignorant pledge to the Texas flag: "Honor the Texas flag, I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas: one and indivisible."

Actualy, Texas is the only state permitted by the act of statehood to divide itself 5 ways without leave of Congress or President. Last got much mention at all during the late 60's as a device to create 8 more presumably conservative Senators. Another relic of our status as a former independant republic.

By the way, a poor day to bet against Texas college teams.

Remember Red Berry, Texas legislature representative from San Antonio. Wanted to split the state into North and South Texas because of Gambling and mixed drinks.
