We had a nice discussion on this topic a couple of months ago. It is difficult to imagine how much freedom an independent Texas would have, since we’re so used to have a nanny in Washington watching our every move. Check out the thread to see what was discussed, and comment if you want.

I despise Perry (mainly for selling control of our highways to private and foreign ownership, and then giving them monopoly protection to charge whatever tolls they can get), but his statement brings “The ‘S’ Word” out of Kooksville and into mainstream discussion...it was a gutsy move by that jerk, and it can only help Texans...although I still hope he loses re-election.
This movement may catch fire now...it will be interesting.

Sigh, let me guess, and you want less government interference. Hey lets make Austin the new U.S. Capital.
