didn't even read most of it.
don't need to.
i know how US people in the 'bible belt' feel about things, the whole world understands the US bible belt philosophy.
Good luck.


Not ALL people in the "Bible Belt" think this way. I am dead in the middle of it and those philosophies couldn't be farther from what I believe. Just so you know...

Maybe you don't know it, but Texas is the only state with a legal right to secede from the Union. (Reference the Texas-American Annexation Treaty of 1848.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_v._White

"In deciding the merits of the bond issue, the court further held that the Constitution did not permit states to secede from the United States, and that the ordinances of secession, and all the acts of the legislatures within seceding states intended to give effect to such ordinances, were "absolutely null"."

The above court case (and a war about 140 years ago) pretty much settled the issue of succession. No state may legally succeed from the union.
