Hung a Texas flag in my office in Nevada. Wasn't that popular people just kinda came in an stared at it. Most of them couldn't believe someone would actually be proud of their home state.

If secession happens, a huge long-shot, I hope they include a provision for displaced Texans to return. My family has ranched in east Texas and later the panhandle since before the War of Northern Aggression (civil war).

I'm still a newcomer to Texas, but by God, the people here *are* proud of this state. Every retailer has some sort of item emblazoned with the star, they even have it in the leaded glass entry doors that you can buy at Home Depot! Nice to see the old "Don't Mess With Texas" slogan is more than an anti-littering bumper sticker. There's definitely something here - pugnacious but polite - that has survived these many years. How refreshing.

I lived in the dreaded state of Kansas for a while in the late 80’s early 90’s most miserable time of my life.

It’s good to be home. I will never leave again!

I told em in Kansas as I was leaving.

Yall can go to hell and I’m going to Texas!
