Not sure about the passport requirements. You might have to check with your Homeland Security Department.

Gas has reached $4.09 at some of the stations on major highways in Texas. This is enough to cause a major rebellion. Folks down here have had just about enough. Everything is very spread out. It's nothing for people to drive 30 or 40 miles one way to work, or wasn't.

Native Texans are very independant folks and don't like government telling us what we can and cannot do. Sorry if some folks resent us for the way we feel, but we are proud of our state as you should be of yours. Our founding fathers never intended for the federal government to do anything more than provide for our security and preserve our freedoms. The states have lost their rights. We've sold out to the federal government by accepting their funding for programs like education. We need to be the ones who decide what is and is not acceptable in our states.

I'm worried just how far the feds will eventually go in taking away our liberties.

Sorry, I know this is a forum, and not a blog. I guess this should have been posted in the vent section. I'm just tired, I guess.


Welcome to my world! Gas cost us 3.99 - 4.05 a gallon in Virginia and is even higher in DC. My husband also drives 70 miles to work each morning. (He works in DC) Texas isn't the only place feeling the pinch. However, as much as I hate the mess we are in I wouldn't want to leave.
