Some Texans never wanted to join the United States and it
was a close vote back when Texas was an independent country.
Sam Houston was probably the deciding factor. If Texas had
not joined the US, we probably would still have plenty of $60
a gallon oil. (Inside intel as opposed to Intel Inside(R)):
I once worked for Schlumberger and Texas is definitely NOT
out of oil, i.e. Lots of oil is being held in reserve in
cases of arrested development as it is in Florida,
California, and Alaska.)
