This is all hypothetically speaking of course.

Saying good bye to our dependency on fossil fuel would be one of the best things that ever happened to this country. The Port of Houston is hardly the only major port of entry...Miami, Baltimore, Newark and LA come to mind. Mission Control in Houston? Really? Like that could never be replicated elsewhere. If that's the binding argument for keeping Texas, we're okay. Really.

We don't need astronauts to survive, we don't need your port, and the fuels have us in a bad situation as it is. Seeya! (sorry to those modest Texans... you guys aren't that bad.)

We would be just fine without Texas.

They all suck. They look like the logos for major league sports.

While I feel there should be some major people-made overhauls to our government; this just seems silly.

Oh and the country would do fine without Texas. Shrink that head o' yours back down cowboy *spit*.

Yes. complete with the same lame flag replacement options.

This guy loves his flags but as someone pointed out in the old thread, they look more like corporate logos than a national flag.

Well actually Matt, the Texas flag looks very similar to Chile's flag and yes, Chile's flag came first.

Back on topic,

It's kind of hard to revamp the red-white-blue color scheme as a lot of other countries use it. Though I do think the U.S. flags needs revamping, I kinda like the two in the middle.
