The following is a very interesting editorial article where the commentator explores what would happen if the State of Texas were to succeed from the United States, as some of its more conservative, radical right wingers have suggested. It's quite the interesting read, really.

It makes me really wonder what these so called "Conservatives" who aren't wealthy, but who are actually what might be considered "poor" or socioeconomically below the middle class line would do, if they got what they *think* they want.

Excellent article Theo. I've been attempting to talk about similar things in a different thread to no avail.

i saw this plan... fact is great... you know he is too dumb to stay in the country forever!

GENEVA -- Activists vowed yesterday that former President George W. Bush would face a torture case against him whenever he travels outside the United States.
Human-rights groups had planned to lodge a Swiss criminal case against Bush yesterday, before his address to a Jewish charity in Geneva on Feb. 12. Organizers canceled his speech last weekend, invoking security concerns.
But the Manhattan-based Center for Constitutional Rights and the Berlin-based European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights issued what they called a preliminary "indictment" to prosecute Bush abroad for the alleged torture of terrorism suspects in US custody.

GEORGE W. BUSH
Travel warning.

"This is our way of putting him on notice," said Katherine Gallagher, senior staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights.

Question to GOP Rep.: 'Who is going to shoot Obama?'

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but Bob Hebert's last column for the NY Times pretty much sums up the state of affairs in the U.S. for me.

In other areas, they are getting what they want. Think about the watered down health care bill as an example. Talk about shooting yerself in the foot! Again, I think about the lack of critical thinking taught in schools ...
