Is Austin where they hold the South by Southwest music festival?

Tekla, I second that motion! If we were not meant to eat animals they wouldn't be made of meat!

Yeah, Austin is home to SXSW, used to go all the time in the late 80s/early 90s.  My ex would do her club smooze and I would work stages on 6th Street and the Continental Club.  Good times.

Texas has threatened to succeed from the Union and the rest of us can't wait.

Texas has been threatening to do that since forever.  John Steinbeck expressed basically the same sentiment as you in his 1960 travelogue "Travels with Charlie."  You practically quoted him.

Your half right, the pencil deal not true, the Oprah Winfrey deal is.

After six years, escalating legal fees and a celebrated trial in the heart of Texas cattle country, a federal judge has dismissed a lingering lawsuit accusing Oprah Winfrey of maligning the beef industry.

For clarity - she said "prosecuted" - a lawsuit is not a prosecution.

Texas is one silly messed up place, my city is in the state but we don't claim it, and it doesn't claim us...

Austin is an oddball place for the state, more open and accepting than the rest.

I wouldn't be one bit surprised if laws like those were passed... the majority of the state is populated by redneck conservative frightened little children who like things there way.  Have any of you ever been pulled over by a texas state trooper?

If the state should succeed then I'm moving to new mexico... to hell with this place. I'm an american not a texan so there

My husband and I talked about what we would do if Texas seceded.  He thought we could stay and have dual citizenship.  But the USA does not permit divided loyalties.  If Texas secedes, I'm GinTFO.  I told him he can stay if he likes Tex Ass that much.
