Well, maybe if they'd been successful in seceding, the world really would be the way they like to imagine it.
But they didn't. Reminds me of a particular exchange between Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam: "But Sam! The War Between the States ended 60 years ago!" "Ah'm no clockwatcher!" |

Speaking of independent states, Have you ever heard about the Vermont Republic that existed from 1777 to 1791? Quickand talked about it at Mtl meet up yesterday, I was stunned.

Texas is not only a state, it's a state of mind, or, as the tourism bureau likes to say, "It's a whole other country".

Well, maybe my opinion doesn't count as I'm argentinian.... Anyway, I've met a few texans and they certainly speak their own language.....

Pretty accurate ... although my wife is from New Mexico and people ask if she had to get a Visa to come to Texas.
