You sound like a "states rights" person after my own heart!
'course, we (along with ten other Southern states) used the same logic back in 1861, and it seemed to have met with some objections!
Note: The above was not intended to provoke a discussion of the War (there are other threads for that). Just a light- hearted comment intended in good spirits!

I don't care one way or the other whether Texas becomes its own nation or not, but I have to ask... how do you figure that??? I can think of quite a few reasons why it would be the other way around!
I like that map [besides MO not being included ]- what is the source?
As to Texas - altho' I am a states-rights mentality, I would hate to see such a great land not being included in our country.
If they would go, I then thereby vote that the Ozarks become its own country too!
What in the flying sam hell will reading a book "about the world" do about changing a president's foreign policy as you suggest? Ill finish My Pet Goat once you finish See Jane Walk.
If the statement had meant that simply reading a book about the world would make a difference, then I'll read Jabne, but it wasn't a literal point of reading one book, or was the sentence too complicated?
