Just throw an 'eh' at the end of every other sentence and tell everyone your Canadian.

Sorry Sana Chan (and anyone else from the south), but I really think we should give Texas back to Mexico and let the rest of the south secede the Union. The south would wallow in it's own ignorance while the rest of the U.S. enjoyed a country without their "values" influence.

The south is also a drag on the rest of the U.S.'s economy. I've read somewhere that no southern state (except maybe Texas) contributes more in Federal tax money than it takes. In other words, Federal tax money collected in the north is funneled to the south to pay for their pubic works and social benefits.

We could live in a gun-free society where people had true freedom and real choices without the church influence. We could take care of our poor and needy and make sure everyone had excellent health care. We could fund our public works so no more bridges collapse and levies breach. We could allow adults to decide what substances they want to put in their own bodies. We could make corporations and wealthy people pay their fair share of the taxes.

Yeah, I know it's just a silly fantasy. Maybe they can just give us California and we can take that and form our Shangri-La. I do live in Texas. And there are some very smart people here. Although most of them are transplants from the north.

I'm know there are plenty of ignorant people in the north too. I've lived there as well. Again I'm sorry Sana Chan. I'm sure you are a very intelligent person. I certainly don't mean this as a personal attack on you. I'm merely speaking from my own experinces.
