The suggestion that Texas should secede must be a joke. How would proponents of secession suggest we handle and/or fund: national defense matters, mail service, freeway maintenance and repairs, military veterans' programs and border security?
Further, a passport would be needed to visit WinStar Casino; kiss protection of the environment goodbye; best pray that another hurricane never strikes the coast; workers' protection afforded by equal employment opportunity laws would be gone; and possible future access to northern rivers for water would be history.Personally, I like my monthly Social Security check.An elementary review of what happened in Texas when the federal troops were pulled out during the Civil War should be enough to rid anyone of any support for secession.We are supposed to learn from historical events. I have to assume there are those among us who skipped history classes.-- Joe Forsythe, EulessHave more to add? News tip? Tell us
