Do you honestly believe that these well-armed, ruthless, committed predators will just up and leave because Texas secedes from the Union?<br /><br />This is not to say that secession is a bad idea. In fact, it's probably the best answer to our national problems.<br /><br />However, if you're gonna pick a state as a viable candidate for secession, don't pick the one that has so many competing claims: the FEDGOV, Texan Patriots, Chicanos with a hard-on to reconstitute "Aztlan", and Mexicans (including the illegal alien variety) who would love to re-claim what they believe was stolen in 1846.<br /><br />Mark this: if Texas secedes, it will de-evolve into a Yugoslavia-style free-for-all that will be inhumanly brutal. Whoever has the stomach to do the most killing, in the most brutal fashion, will win. Right now, the smart money is with whoever lines up the support of the Mexican cartel armies.<br /><br />Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-16227553725052585632011-12-17T11:32:34.798-05:002011-12-17T11:32:34.798-05:00What were you thinking?!:)What were you thinking?!:)Brock Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404173139501539265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-91101748914374300682011-12-17T08:43:25.298-05:002011-12-17T08:43:25.298-05:00Left out the word women!

Lk Livingston is only 3' low thx to the rain in N. Texas. This past summer we were 8-10' low.<br /><br />Factor in the Soros crowd that is buying up parcel and then trapping any water production as a weapon.<br /><br />While I think fracking is beneficial in the oil/gas production, it eats up a lot of water.<br /><br />Maybe we will get the 18"-22" of rain needed to bring our levels up to normal.<br /><br />This drought has decimated the cattlemen. All summer the Ft. Worth stockyards were running at 150% production capacity. Now a majority of the cattle producers have depleted their stocks and have nothing left. <br /><br />Those that still have livestock are paying out the ass for hay b/c of the drought. Most of the hay is coming from Louisiana to the tune of $95/bale (large rolls). That includes trans. Normal years you could get them for $35-40 local depending on what cutting it was.<br /><br />So with ALL that being said, we still sit fairly good. It's winter now (below 70 during the day)and the rains have started. So hopefully this will be a wet winter.Rich Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908318761918265392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-80799976507638819732011-12-16T12:06:14.170-05:002011-12-16T12:06:14.170-05:00Thanks.

We're...Brock - Water is a very serious problem. We're in the midst of a really bad drought. It's starting to break for portions of North Texas, but elsewhere, it's still a very serious issue. The problem will probably persist for years - with impacts to our livestock production, farming, and hunting. A lot of small-time ranchers had to fold and sell off stock - even if it was underfed and underweight - because their other option was to let the stock die in the fields. About the only solution I can think of for Texas would be a string of purification and desalination plants along the Gulf, but those would have to have been built years ago. By the time they're up and running the drought will be over.A Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15288199981382663362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-71225114875119371622011-12-16T11:14:50.864-05:002011-12-16T11:14:50.864-05:00Yes, as Anon says what about water?Yes, as Anon says what about water?Brock Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404173139501539265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-90429539176614870422011-12-16T07:03:39.148-05:002011-12-16T07:03:39.148-05:00Austin is a hippie, socialist, commie etc haven, t...Austin is a hippie, socialist, commie etc haven, thanks to UT. Dallas is a blue metropolis. SA is a sanctuary some call it the 2nd capital of Mexi. city. <br /><br />With all that negativity. Texas is my home and the best damn state in the nation. Hell we even had a $1.6B surplus of funds from this session.<br /><br />http://www.star-telegram.com/2011/12/13/3590023/16-billion-surplus-projected-for.html<br /><br />Just like Kerodin linked to you. We have it all. Oil, gas, power grid, cattle, crop production, timber, coal, industry, etc. I am not sure if we have any steel mills or not.<br /><br />We are the only state to have all types of geography.<br /><br />And the people are friendly to boot.Rich Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908318761918265392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-14431589227517303342011-12-16T04:12:27.434-05:002011-12-16T04:12:27.434-05:00Got Water?Got Water?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-88633432967062147002011-12-16T00:20:56.799-05:002011-12-16T00:20:56.799-05:00Damn straight.
