Well yeah it is, but since you brought sex into it, you should know that anything other than missionary between husband and wife is illegal, living with a member of the opposite sex to whom you're not married is illegal, and public displays of affection can still get you a $50.00 fine (even if you're married)

So basically, the state's slogan is a marketing lie...

Only Texas would name a town "Ding Dong"

And only Virginia would name a town 'Frog Level', 'Dumfries' or 'Bumpass'! Of course Texas has 'Cut-n Shoot', 'Run-and-Shoot', 'Love Lady' and 'Dripping Springs'.

Even if we have a town named Ding Dong, its only to acknowledge the brain capacity of Virginians...

What does our brain capacity have to do with a TX town named Ding Dong? Seems to me only a ding dong Texan would name a town Ding Dong

Here Traveler, this is for you. A friend of mine sent it to me in an email:

Quote:

Please note that Texas is the only state with a legal right to
secede from the Union . (Reference the Texas-American Annexation
Treaty of 1848.)

We Texans love y'all, but we'll probably have to take action
since B. Hussein Obama won the election. We'll miss you too.
Here is what can happen:

#1: Barack Hussein Obama becomes President of the United States
, Texas immediately secedes from the Union .

#2: George W. Bush will become the President of the Republic of Texas

So what does Texas have to do to survive as a Republic?

1. NASA is just south of Houston , Texas . We will control the
space industry.

2. We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States .

3. Defense Industry--we have over 65% of it. The term "Don't
mess with Texas ," will take on a whole new meaning.

4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas
will need for the next 300 years. Yankee states? Sorry about that.

5. Natural Gas - again we have all we need and it's too bad
about those Northern States. John Kerry will have to figure out a way
to keep them warm....

6. Computer Industry - we currently lead the nation in producing
computer chips and communications--small companies like Texas
Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor,
Motorola, Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied Materials, Ball Miconductor,
Dallas Semiconductor, Delphi, Nortel, Alcatel, etc, etc. The list
goes on and on.

7. Medical Care - We have the largest research centers for
cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the
world, as well as other large health centers. Dallas has some of the
best hospitals in the United States

8. We have enough colleges to keep us going: University of Texas
, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Rice, SMU, University of Houston , Baylor,
UNT ( University of North Texas ), Texas Women's University, etc. Ivy
grows better in the South anyway.

9. We have a ready supply of workers. We could just open the
border when we need some more.

10. We have essential control of the paper industry, plastics,
insurance, etc.

11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National
Guard and the Texas Air National Guard. We don't have an Army, but
since everybody down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo,
we can raise an Army in 24 hours if we need one. If the situation
really gets bad, we can always call the Department of Public Safety
and ask them to send over Chuck Norris and a couple of Texas Rangers.

12. We are totally self-sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs, and
several types of grain, fruit and vegetables, and let's not forget
seafood from the Gulf. Also, everybody down here knows how to cook
them so that they taste good. Don't need any food.
This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic
of Texas in good shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need
and don't have.

Now to the rest of the United States under President Obama:

Since you won't have the refineries to get gas for your cars,
only President Obama will be able to drive around in his big 9 mpg
SUV. The rest of the United States will have to walk or ride bikes.

You won't have any TV as the Space Center in Houston will cut
off satellite communications.

You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes, but since Mr.
Obama has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas as long
as you survive the 2000 years it will take to get enough heat from
Global Warming.

Signed, The People of Texas

P.S. This is not a threatening letter - just a note to give you
something to think about!

SLEEP WELL TONIGHT. THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE UPON YOU!!

One Nation Under God
