Maximilianus Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 If Texas secedes I think they should change it's name to Middle Earth and all the major cities accordingly to match the rest of the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to go then just go. Nobody is stopping you. Why should you try to get a state to betray the union because you're unsatisfied? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no desire how to tell the people of New York how to live, if they want to disarm themselves to feel safe then as far as I am concerned they may, if Colorado wants to legalize pot, or Oregon wants to make meth labs a cottage industry that is those states business, as long as Americans can move freely among the States then there is no reason why any of those things should be a problem, but don’t tell me that here in Texas we have to be disarmed, that we have to pay for illegal immigrants education, that we have to accept pot, or gay marriage or anything else that is not explicitly defined in the Constitution as a Federal Power. Once you do then you invite secession, because Texas is not a department of a nation, it is a State which has shed some of its sovereign rights to live in harmony with its neighbors, if the rights it has not shed are taken, then it has every right to leave.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#222222][font=Arial][size=2][font="Times New Roman"][size="3"] [/size][/font][/size][/font][/color][color=#222222][font=Arial][size=2]Abused people have every tight to demand to be treated fairly or to leave to prevent their continued abuse, States also have such a right.
