Tide Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I don't understand the point of that map. It's common that less dense areas populations wise tend to be more conservative and more densly populated areas trend liberal. I don't personally blame the south, I just thought it was a funny. I don't even know if anything in it is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigred Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 ha that was funny, but did you know [i]Please note that Texas is the only state with a legal right to secede from[/i] [i]the Union (please refer to the Texas-American Annexation Treaty of 1848).[/i] [i]So what does Texas have to do to survive as a Republic?[/i] [i]1. NASA is just south of Houston, Texas. (we will control the space industry.)[/i] [i]2. We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States.[/i] [i]3. Defense Industry. (we have over 65% of it) The term "Don't[/i] [i]mess with Texas," will take on a whole new meaning.[/i] [i]4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas[/i] [i]will need for the next 300 years. Yankee states? Sorry about that.[/i] [i]5. Natural Gas - Again we have all we need and it's too bad[/i] [i]about those northern states. [/i] [i]6. Computer Industry - we currently lead the nation in producing[/i] [i]computer chips and communications: Small places like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied Materials, Ball Semiconductor, Dallas Semiconductor, Delphi, Nortel, Alcatel, Etc, Etc. The list goes on and on.[/i] [i]7. Health Centers - We have the largest research centers for[/i] [i]Cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in[/i] [i]the world and other large health planning centers.[/i] [i]8. We have enough colleges to keep us going: UT., Texas A&M,[/i] [i]Texas Tech, Rice, SMU, University of Houston, Baylor, UNT, Texas[/i] [i]Women's University, etc. Ivy grows better in the south anyway.[/i] [i]9. We have a ready supply of workers. (just open the border when[/i] [i]we need some more).[/i] [i]10. We have control of the paper industry, plastics, insurance,[/i] [i]etc.[/i] [i]11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National Guard[/i] [i]and the Texas Air National Guard. We don't have an army but since[/i] [i]everybody down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo, we can[/i] [i]raise an army in 24 hours if we need it. If the situation really gets[/i] [i]bad, we can always call Department of Public Safety and ask them to send[/i] [i]over a couple Texas Rangers.[/i] [i]12. We are totally self sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs and[/i] [i]several types of grain, fruit and vegetables and lets not forget[/i] [i]seafood from the gulf. And everybody down here knows how to cook them so[/i] [i]that they taste good. Don't need any food.[/i] [i]This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic[/i] [i]of Texas in good shape.[/i] [i]There isn't a thing out there that we need and don't have.[/i] [i]Now to the rest of the United States [/i] [i]Since you won't have the refineries to get gas for your cars,[/i] [i]you will have to walk or ride bikes.[/i] [i]You won't have any TV, as the space center in Houston will cut off your[/i] [i]communications. You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes.[/i] [i]Signed,[/i] [i]The People in Texas[/i] I always thought this was amusing too. So at least this part of the South will be OK.

Bigred Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 Just curiose, I was displaced from my lovely family home in Penobscot (Man that sounds like such a dirty word).

Bigred Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 Houston is great for most of the things I like, Food. But the weather sucks and sucks hard, and the roads are boring as shat. OH and no fricken snow, I haven't seen snow in 7 years. I'm heading to Connecticut for Thanksgiving (wifes family) but doubt I'll see any snow.
