In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

Happy Secession Day!

When the people in America seceded from Great Britain in 1776, they exercised a right that is fundamental to liberty. Today, as you have hot dogs, soda, or a cold beer or two, remind your kids, friends, and spouse that the second paragraph of the document we are celebrating says that Texas can secede. The Declaration of Independence states: ". . . whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government . . . "

I'm ready for the Lone Star State again. With well over 20 million people, a nice big port, oil, and lots of farm land, Texas would do well nicely as its own independent republic again. At least we would have one benign neighbor (Mexico).

What's the problem?
Texas wants to secede from the USA.
The rest of the USA wants Texas to secede.
(Just ask)
So, I don't understand.
What's the problem?
Please Texas, quit bitching and go.

The leach attached to the U.S. called Mexico,has it's firmest grip at the Texas border. If you think that if and when we(Texas) secede the drug lords, government, and anyone still left over there are not going to move across for each one's own purpose you are either kidding your self, or don't have a grasp of human nature. No my friend, it is my understanding that freeing ourselves, will ensure us defending it from now on. I'm up for it- how about you?
