First lets clear up a little history.

Texas won its indenpendence from Mexico in 1836 and was its own country, The Republic of Texas until it became a State in 1845.

Of all the States it is the only one that was a country unto itself before becoming a state.

Secondly, yes I do believe that the Dixie Chics or anyone else is entitled to their own personal opinon. But I don't think that they have the right because of their celebrity to foster it on every one else. At the same time I am personally tired of the press creating their own news by by stiring up controversy. They really don't seem to be able to report just the news events without trying to explain what it means. They think that we are so stupid that we can't judge for ourselves what it means.

In conclusion I have my own opinon about Iraq but I am not going to foster it on all the rest of the people at Pixies.

Hope you Feel better soon Irish !!
