My aunt isn't very smart.
It's sad, really.

She was raised in a fairly liberal home and then left for Texas at the age of 18 and never looked back. Not only did she leave the Catholic Church, she became a Republican (that's like a twofer in my family).

Well today she was talking to my mom about the talks down there over seceding and how it's just so funny and all the e-mails she gets in support of it.

She then says to my mom, "One said how we'd be self-sustained, you know, with NASA and all..."

3. Should write her back, saying,
"That's what they said in South Carolina in 1861."

Or does she know nothing about history?

6. Does she not know what "seceding" means, or not know what NASA is, or both? nt

8. Well duh! They'd just call it "TASA" and everything would be fine! lol
They just wouldn't have FL to launch the space shuttles from, but that's beside the point.

9. What makes her think...
...that the US would leave NASA in Houston if it were to become a foreign country?

13. I'm pretty damn sure we'll get NASA in the settlement.
Along with them there military bases.

Texas can keep its exemplary edumacation system.
