Reg, I saw a program on "The Discovery Channel:
Ice Age Columbus: Who Were the First Americans?" It
said, based on the latest arrowhead and tool archaeological
evidence, that America was discovered by sea-going ice-age
Europeans 17,000 years before Columbus made his voyage. It
was asserted that some Native Americans still carry the
genetic markers donated by those early Europeans.

Cecil, you opened a bag of Texas Nightcrawlers [Bass bait worms] with

I believe Texas also used to be its own independent country, the
Republic of Texas. Sam Houston was president. We were called Texians.
(And John Wayne was not a Texian, Texican, Texan or any other
deriviative.)

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.)

Some day the Near East will figure out that USA long term policy is to
devoid the Near East of oil. After that, the USA reserves in California,
Oklahoma, Florida, and Alaska [Wildlife Refuge] will put the USA in a
dominant and controlling position in the world economic situation.
