Not just Texans.
When I'm in a curmudgeonly mood, I think that California should secede from the USA! And perhaps the USA would've been better off if the South had been allowed to secede?
Anyway, just take a look at the wording on the California state flag:

In case it wasn't clear from my earlier curmudgeonly post, I think CALIFORNIA would benefit if it seceded from the USA....

P.S.: Having lived in this state since about age four, in both the L.A. area and San Francisco, I claim California "quasi-native" status.

18 countries for me
I agree
Besides California doesn't get to vote for the President of the USA. Long before they count our votes the decision is already made.

milesforyourmoma - any chance of adding a space/s somewhere among your country tally? 
Right now UBB reads your post as one massive long word and it looks really "wide" on most browsers. You do not have a visible email or would have contacted you direct.
Thanks in advance.

How come so many folks get to Haiti? Cruises?
I recall we had lunch at some place called Labardee Haiti last year, which was this fenced in compound they REFUSED to let anyone leave from due to "security". Shame.
