Seriously.

Talk of secession is talk of quitting. Quitting your citizenship, quitting your country. Its about giving up because the deck is stacked in some body elses favor.
Interesting perspective. Compare and contrast that position with the armed rebellion that occurred in the late 1770s. Those rebels quit their citizenship, and quit their country. The deck was pretty well stacked against them.

A different perspective. Their country was separated by an ocean, their citizenship was here. They also had indians and the French on their side. Jus sayin.

Texas is separated by a couple of rivers and a swamp. Maybe the mexican illegals are on their side, but i doubt it.

So geography is the determining factor in whether a populace has the right for self-determination. Thanks for the enlightenment. So what the Founding Fathers meant to say in the Declaration of Independence was...

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security*...."

*but only when you are separated by an ocean and have other world or regional powers supporting your cause
