Texas Governor: We are sovereign!

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

In fact the Private school is the biggest thorn in the side to public school why with their low cost and better results.

My friend is sending his son to pre-K at a private school, tuition is 24k/year. He currently lives in a town with a poorly performing pre-K program, pays school taxes of 8k/year. He could (he can afford to) upgrade to a good town with excellent school system (say, Princeton), pay 12-14k/year in school taxes and get as good a pre-K experience as the private school which wants 24k/year.

Just an anecdote in the private vs public school wars

It's not succeed!!! It's secede.

How do you know that is not what I meant? No southern California = success for northern California.

I am feeling distinctly unloved by my esteemed neighbour up North.

[Dr. A ♥ O 203]

So they aren't seceding they are merely threatening to? Growing up there I always heard that talk about Texas should become it's own Republic again as it would be much stronger. The other side of that argument I heard was good luck to any state that did try to secede from the Union.

Texas should and needs to breakaway from the Union.

Be alot better place to live.

As the rest of the Countries cries we are in a recession, Texas keeps rolling along not feeling any recession here.

Problem is all the Americans trying to get into Texas to become Texans.

You know what I think? I think you are some kind of deviated prevert.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

A prevert. What's that?

Someone who's thinking about doing perverted things but hasn't got around to actually doing them yet?

Keep Austin as the Capitol Of TTexas

Make the Alamo be the new Pentagon

Secure our borders ASAP.

We don't need no Illegals crossing the border from the South

We don't need no Yankees crossing the border from the North

That would leave your state in a million to one ratio of men to women. You'd all have to start going back to having sex with your livestock....or love each other.

That's what you have to say.

Here's what people who make their living studying such things have to say.

Monthly Review of the Texas Economy — March 2009

The national recession has started to choke the Texas economy. The U.S. economy lost more than four million jobs or 3.1 percent of its labor force from February 2008 to February 2009 (Table 1). Over the same period, the Texas economy lost 73,000 jobs or 0.7 percent of its labor force (Table 1 and Figure 1). The state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose from 4.5 percent in February 2008 to 6.5 percent in February 2009 (Table 1). The U.S. seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose from 4.8 percent to 8.1 percent during the same period.

Yea Texas is doing much better than USA. Seem like we lost 5 times less jobs than the USA, per your report.

Overall Texas is one of the places to be and live, and has been for many years.

I think one thing that keeps Texas from becoming California is our very hot summers....

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

You changed your statement from "Texas keeps rolling along not feeling any recession" to "Texas is doing much better than USA"

The former is quite untrue; there is certainly more truth to the latter.

Yes We have some Big Girls in Texas. I went to the Britney Spears concert last week in Dallas, I was impressed by the talent there, Lots of Eye Candy.

As far as having sex with Livestock - That happens in any place you have livestock and teenage boys..............
