    Is Texas talking about leaving really all that new?

    Several years back I went to Woodlands TX for a business trip. There was a historical map of Texas on the wall of the CEO’s office I was visiting. As I was asking questions about the oil rigs depicted, it was mentioned everytime the price of gas goes up, the separation of Texas talk goes up along with it.

    Thankfully last year when I was down there the price of fuel was 2.87/G when it was 5.83/G in California.

    However it seems they have found a new way to rile the population up now.

      Most people who talk about it aren’t even serious about it either. It’s just their version of, “someone should do something.”

      Unfortunately that someone is the group that they’ve been brainwashed to hate.
