It's a bit hard to fathom the mindset of some Texans who have made **being Texan** their main hobby. It's almost as if they LOOK for reasons to object to what the USA as a 'country' does.

I seriously doubt many of them really, really would want to try to run Texas as an independent country, but some of them sure enjoy (as I saw last night) hinting that they could, if they wanted to, break into 5 states and throw 8 more senators at the Democrats!

"Better be nice to us and not pass any stupid *LIBERAL* crap about gun control or *gasp* Gay Marriage, or we will become 5 small dogs, and bite your ankles."


I truly do not know whether such attitudes are social or genetic (and I know it is not universal there)....either way, it is not plesant to watch.
