Yes Ron, it was a victory of sort. And well, a moving point in history.
So was this:
The Battle of Thermopylae
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Thermopylae
As far as I am concerned, let Texas secede. Good riddance, cretins.
Is it time for a revolution?
“Every generation needs a new revolution.” Thomas Jefferson
EDIT
I agree though with a previous poster, Austin is cool, maybe we can make a deal with the secessionists, Austin stays as an US enclave.

stich,
i've always wondered sumpthin, maybe you could give me the answer?
edit: was jim bowie left or right handed?
b'cuz, fess parker cudn't seem to make up his mind what he was in 'the alamo' flick.
that was the 'sumpthin' that i noticed as a kid (when i first saw the movie).
but, maybe he was amberdextrious (or whatever they call it, eh?)!

edit: come to think of it, isn't 'billy the kid' from texas. will he still be an american? or will he be considered a foreigner?

we love texas. or at least i do! every kid who grew up in america (boy anyway) loves texas. has all that rich history. i'm not really very political. politics change with the wind.
plus, what about texas tea?
edit: oil that is! and the beverly hillbillies. will they have to leave bh's? apply for a visa? they got allot of $$ so they can prollie afford it. just wondering!
anyway, me thinks jim bowie was ambidextrous. cuz fess parker new his shit! prollie was a texan, eh?
ummm, am i the only one taking this seriously? there's a lot at stake here!!!

If Texas can secede from the union, parts of Texas can secede from Texas.
As someone said upthread, perhaps the union should have let the south go in 1861, and instead looked west and north. It could have stopped the south and slavery from expanding any further, and instead formed a partnership with Canada. The 30 states plus ten provinces. As Seward and Lincoln both dreamed of.
Anyway, real (Lyndon Johnson) and faux (the Bushes) Texans have been your president or vice-president for 28 of the last 52 years, so no wonder that they're upset.

back to the alamo, if you rent a car in texas (alamo car rental) and drive it to cali and they succeed, who does the car belong to?
edit: and what happens to all the flags that everbody owns? they got fifty stars. will they be against the law?
we cud adopt canada and then we cud leave the star on the flag. save a lot of hassels, eh?

don't you wish you lived in texas? actually, after i graduated from college i flew to lubbock, texas for an interview with this company (they paid my way). other than it being rather flat and somewhat isolated, i really liked it. liked the people and the texas solidarity & hospitality!
edit: truthfully, there's allot of weird things going on in the world. the Arab Spring, etc! ya never know what cud happen!! that would be a really big shake up for America!

Guadalupe Mountains are pretty cool. I hope we get to keep those too.

they have all those drugs passing thru the border of texas and through texas to elsewhere. maybe they would finally get a handle on that. or they could just tax them and make sure they just kept on moving through. since "america" wouldn't send in the "national guard" when texas requested it!
edit: actually, if they did secede, i suspect a lot more people would flow into texas then there would be people leaving texas. they have plenty of room. and the weather is good. they could develope a lot of territory.
things are changing around the world overnight!!!
