Would you move to Texas if....

[Perplexed]

Nope. You don't get a choice in the matter. Once in; in for the duration. Besides; then you'd have to root for the Longhorns.

Actually, as I understand it, there's no provision in either the US or Texas Constitutions for or against secession. Texas v. White was not based on any legal precedent, and that decision merely directed President Grant to sign a declaration re-admitting Texas to the Union. If Texas were to try to secede, the outcome would probably depend largely on the size of the cojones of whomever was in the White House at that time.

Oh, such a difficult decision.......

Oklahoma?????

Texas??????

I guess I'm just "straddling the fence" for now. After all, Oklahoma's completely red and Texas is partially blue on the political map.

Thank you, because we or I feel there are no cojones in the WH at this time.

Austin, Houston and Dallas/Ft Worth are bluing up more and more every day. Started in the 70's.

Well, this is how I usually feel, although I am not from Alabama.

I know very well of old Greer county, Great grandfather Garret, per my grandmother, used to meet with Chief Lone Wolf of the Kiowas at the North Fork of the Red River regularly before old Greer County became part of OK. May be Old Greer County could go back to TX? I have the place already lined up just a few miles west of the North Fork.......and thanks for bringing that up of Old Greer County.

Texas born, Texas bred, Texas raised. Okie by choice. All my family still lives there. You bet I'd be there!

This is all I know now, and I don't know what to think, but what the hell? I am older and glad I may not see any of this in my lifetime. Good night and good luck, ERM in the 50's said it every week. Thanks, kids especially to the Old Greer County part.
