Being a native Texan I'll be the first to agree we have some real nuts there, but I didn't realize Chuck was that... odd.
People who want secession are very narrow minded with a short sighted view of the world imo. For one thing, people often have friends and family in other states, and that unites the country in one way. Secondly, states' economies are interconnected. Third, it's all fine and dandy talking about independence, but they may be singing a different tune once they you lose all the gov't services, benefits, funding, laws, (postal service, medicare, medicaid, social security, federal unemployment benefits, insured bank accounts) etc. all at once. Secession isn't a simple thing, but, like it was said earlier, people fantasize revolution.
