If you plan to secede, be prepared to fight the most dangerous and misguided military in the world.  It's illegal because they said so and that's final so nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh.

Heck, if Texas wanted to secede, they'd have to do so out of force.  America's got a funny way of creating laws which couldn't possibly benefit society.

Why fight? Not like they can't just circle the place with fence and lock everyone inside, shoot any incoming air traffic down. I think it isn't exactly the greatest idea to be isolated nation inside unfriendly one...

It's exactly like that, actually... Texas has major ports, rail and roadway hubs, and a very large stretch of border - including some with Mexico. Even if they could, cutting off trade through, or with, Texas would be a very damaging thing for the US to do to themselves.

I wouldn't ever willingly spend money on living somewhere where democracy decides what the rules are.

Interesting. No doubt you live somewhere. You pay rent? You own property? In both cases, you're spending money to live somewhere. Where is that?

Or do you just live with your parents or bum off of a friend or family member? Or do you live in a cave?

Do learn to read... he said "willingly."

If there would be a Sheriff it would need to be a private business offering me a private contract on what rules I would need to agree to, what services I would receive and how much it would cost me.

Then and only then I'd consider it.

Buy an entire town and appoint a bitcoin friendly sherriff elected by online citizens of the town  Cheesy

I believe secession would also be a possibility ?


I assure you, secession is not a possibility.  May I direct you to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_v._White

I've seriously thought about this and really think we should do this.

Maybe even an island nation.

Would be awesome.  Grin
