To Secede Or Not Secede?

Wow!  There is a petition for Texas and other states to secede from the Union.  Since I live in Texas, I am really only concerned with this one.  As of 11/12/12 11:41 pm, 56,424 people have signed it.

What happens if this is successful?  Do all of us have to go or just the 56,000?  The whole state goes or do we divide it up?  Maybe carve it out a little corner.  Do we have to build a fence around the Red River too?

So many questions!  Are we really in good position to just up and leave?  I thought we were bad shape.  Didn't we just have to fire a bunch of teachers because we were out of money?  Will our education system support an educated workforce for our new economy?  Aren't we ranked 49th out of 50 states in verbal SAT's scores and 46th in average Math scores? (Not sure if this fits here, just wanted to point out what Rick Perry has done to our education system)

If Texas secede, who would be in charge? Rick Perry, George W, George P?  Would the casino shuttles still run to WinStar? 

If Texas becomes, its own nation will our national drink be Texas Tea?  I think these are important questions to ask ourselves.

An even more important question would be to ask is why are these 56,000+ working to have Texas secede instead of having Texas succeed.  Why aren't they working together to figure out how to fix our education problem?  Why aren't they concerned with 22.9% of Texas children living below the poverty level?  No solution for 86.2% of Texas households with no retirement income?

Seceding is a lazy person's way out.
