"The only state that is free to do something similar is Texas. In the agreement which brought them into the Union, they can break up into up to 5 states.

Firstly, they would no longer be one of the biggest states, and secondly, the state is actually becoming more liberal in the areas near the big cities. [His son] thinks that this will accelerate with things like the recent power grid debacle."

... would that make Texas the 'Five Star State'?
