Just an interesting side note: Did you know that when Texas joined the union they reserved the right to split into four states if they wanted to?

I was taught this in Texas history in Waco, Texas when I was in the 7th grade.

As far as I know we still have that right. Which means 8 senators instead of two.

Texas could be a power broker in the US Senate if they could ever get their act together that is.

You're assuming the 8 senators would vote the same way...

If a country pulls out of EU, it will not lead to a civil war or something!

When Denmark joined the EU (can't recall the English term just now for the name of the organization back then) in 1973, Greenland was automatically being a member too as a part of the kingdom of Denmark. Years later, somewhere between 1984-1986, the autonomynous home rule of Greenland decided to pull out of the organization, though Denmark remained. Don't remember about the Feroes Island either, if they stayed or not. But it is possible to pull out!

It used to be called the EEC, European Economic Community.

Wish it would return to that in both name and actuality.

I can see it now.

Way back when before it was the EEC, it was the 'Common Market'

Yeah, well, I think that is a little Texas mythology, actually Even though it is mentioned, I doubt anyone took that seriously.

If we did split into 5 states, we might not be the biggest state in the Union, depending on the split, of course.

I originally posted the cover of that, but thought that Neal might consider it a bit racy, which it is.
