I've been cruising the net today, and seeing a fair share of news about Secession petitions. Apparently, on the White House's "We The People" There are now petitions from groups in all 50 states to secede from the U.S. in the wake of the Elections.
Now, with most places, I know that this is just... a freak out to the election process. No place seems to have been left untouched, there was even some of it within the lounge.
But the one place that does intrigue me, is Texas. Americans know there is something different about Texas.
They were once their own nation, from 1836, to 1846, and there is a "decent size" movement (I say decent size, because it's not just a few old geezers, it's well known) to return Texas to it's own government. (their petition at last check was nearing 100,000 signatures)
I'm not looking to argue with people, but I'm really curious at hearing what people think about the.... "What if" Texas became it's own country type deal? If they were able to pull together the resources to go at it full force, what do you think it would to do North America?
