A Message From Texas
-
Texas has given all those complainers plenty of time to get used to the election results. After seeing the whiners along the inauguration route, the folks from Texas have decided that we might just take matters into our own hands. Here is our solution: #1: Let John Kerry become President of the United States (all 49 states). #2: George W. Bush becomes the President of the Republic of Texas. So what does Texas have to do to survive as a Republic? We have: NASA in Houston, Texas (we will control the space industry). We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States. Defense Industry (we have over 65% of it). The term "Don't mess with Texas," will take on a whole new meaning. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas will need for the next 300 years. Yankee states? Sorry about that. Natural Gas - Again we have all we need and it's too bad about those northern states. John Kerry will figure a way to keep them warm.... Computer Industry - we currently lead the nation in producing 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. Health Centers - We have the largest research centers for Cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world and other large health planning centers. We have enough colleges to keep us going: U.T., Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Rice, SMU, University of Houston, Baylor, UNT, Texas Women's University, etc. Ivy grows better in the south anyway. We have a ready supply of workers (just open the border when we need some more ). We have control of the paper industry, plastics, insurance, etc. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National Guard and the Texas Air National Guard. We don't have an army but since everybody down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo, we can raise an army in 24 hours if we need it. If the situation really gets bad, we can always call Department of Public Safety and ask them to send over a couple Texas Rangers. We are totally self sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs and vegetable produce and everybody down here knows how to cook them so that they taste good. Don't need any food. This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic of Texas in good shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need and don't have. Now to the re

I could do without most of the crap coming out of Hollywood these days. I don't think I'd ever miss it. Just leave me my connection to CP and I'll be ok. BTW, did you know the Texas has it's own version of a 'dirty' bomb? Yep, that's right. Stick a M-80 in a cow patty and you're ready to go. The fresher the patty, the dirtier the bomb.:laugh:

Don't forget ZZ Top. And a lot of people in Nashville are from Texas. We don't grow the talent here, they all just keep moving here. The good thing is we always have a steady supply of waiters and waitresses. Jeff Martin Triple20 Software

A reservation is just a patch of dirt that belongs to a separate nation within our national borders. The tribes have their own governments - here it's a council of elders - their own police, laws, and customs. When you cross the border it's important to remember that you are a visitor in a foreign land, and to respect their ways. In all other respects the reservation is no different from the rest of this huge desert. Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

Actually the movie industry in Texas is second only to Hollywood. And we got Willy, the Dixie Chicks, The Austin Lounge Lizards, Willis Alan Ramsey, etc... Recording studios out the wazoo. No legal gambling but if you comeon down I can get you into all the high stakes pokeer games you can possibly afford. Richard I am not sure about the exact placement but I believe that taken individually the Texas economy is the 7'th or 8'th in the world.

Roger Wright wrote: Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas will need for the next 300 years. Yankee states? Sorry about that. Texas' oil reserves are estimated at 5.3 billion barrels, about 25% of the US' oil reserves. Assuming Texas (22 million people) consumes as much oil per captia as the rest of the US (300 million people consuming 20 million barrels/day). Then Texas consumes 1.4 million barrels/day. This means Texas has enough oil for 3785 days, which is equal to 10.4 years. Also, Texas only produces about 1 million barrels/day, which falls short of their consumption by 400,000 barrels/day. Since Texas is a oil importer, Texas oil isn't currently being sent to any "Yankee states".

The rest of the United States will have to walk or ride bikes. Apparently, you won't be exporting all that gasoline produced by those refineries, so I guess you'll shut down all your refineries, or you'll be drinking all the gasoline. Have fun. ----------------------------------------------------- Bush To Iraqi Militants: 'Please Stop Bringing It On' - The Onion

No fireworks? That sucks. Are they afraid that you'll burn the desert down? Last time I checked, the only thing that I couldn't get here (north Texas) was bottle rockets. I can buy 20 other things to shoot into the air, but no bottle rockets.

Willy's ok but I don't know about claiming the Dixie Chicks. We can claim Ted Nugent. That's more my style.

Their political views in no way denegrates their talent. I may be a staunch Republican but I do believe that one can disagree with my outlook and still be friends. Besides as they get older and have kids and real responsibility they will eventually come around to a sensible point of view :) Richard Willy is a die hard Democrat BTW "He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

You're right. Didn't mean to imply that it did. Richard Stringer wrote: I do believe that one can disagree with my outlook and still be friends I agree 100%.
