Interesting factoid.

The only reason that Texas ever existed as an independent Republic, was because for years, the United States wouldn't take it.

I'm sure that had nothing at all to do with a significant political bloc in Texas that didn't want the United States to take it, either...(They also wanted to stretch The Republic of Texas all the way to the Pacific Coast, incidentally).

Considering that a large segment of the population were basically criminals and malcontents, that's not really surprising. The major problem however that Texas had as an independent nation was that it was continuously broke and had to sell off large tracts of it's land to help pay the bills. And that still wasn't enough.

Huh. A large desert with vast oil reserves populated by heavily armed religious fundamentalists who don't like homosexuals, womens' rights, or centralized government.

We'd be invading it for oil in a week.

Hey, Dingo. That's what I was waiting for. I knew it wouldn't be long. ;)

6.1% unemployment right now.

I love the whole "those ignorant f~&#ing Texans" spiel.

Not the whole state. Just the textbook adoption committee.

So any way, I got an email back from the Texas legislature...they have passed the suggestion along to the appropriate people (code for: read it out loud at a drunken BBQ and we all laughed).

Remember this isnt 100 trillion profit over 1 year, its a hundred trillion profit over 20 years or 5 trillion per year. But what do you do with 6 terawatts? you use it to mass produce hydrogen for hydrogen powered cars. The less profit you care to take, the lower the price of Hydrogen (to a point where it is comparable with petrol.


Congratulations Comrade Dingo!

The Texas legislature, the Albanaian...um, whatever it is called in Albania, you're becoming a regular gadfly for our leaders, locally and internationally!

Vive le Dingo!


Also, there is an embassy call from Elbonia... They are very interested in this turbine thing you apparently know something about, and very interested in a joint venture for constructing a "windmill", something top Elbonian scientists have discovered must be possible.


New Hampshire is cooler than Texas.

And we have a lower unemployment rate--we pawn them all off onto Massachusetts!

Live free or die!


That's OK, we ship lots of tax avoiders up to you ...and then they vote for more taxes in NH! Vive La liberalisme stupidite!

I tell you what...if they go and do this stuff, you can say I am a BBEG for getting my Death Star. See if New Texas pull this off, they will have 200 trillion dollars - enough to go to the Moon and Mine Tritium (or Helium three or what ever the s*@$ is) and build a reactor on the moon and use it to beam a laser back at the earth to power s&&* here (Three cheers for the Death Star Laser Moment :P).

For now.

Man, I thought for a second they passed a seat belt law!


It's only a matter of time. It's for your own good after all ...

A s*&+ load of Texans moved to Australia in the 60s.


There is a town called Texas in Queensland.
