I was suggesting that declaring pride in the move whites made to secede the territory from Mexico is problematic. <BR/><BR/>Two, I'm not afraid to "put my name on it." I don't have a Blogger account and didn't feel like creating one for this post. <BR/><BR/>Three, whether I'm anonymous or not--and, really, how disclosive is your name and picture out here in the internets, hmmm?--has nothing to do with the validity (or lack thereof) or what I said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37145685.post-15154203586716640302008-03-08T22:52:00.000-06:002008-03-08T22:52:00.000-06:00I find it amusing when people start trouble under ...I find it amusing when people start trouble under the disguise of "anonymous". If you've got something to say, own it. Put your name on it.

Each day it becomes increasingly more apparent to me that Texas is more than the stereotype that some of us northerners have. <BR/><BR/>For instance, three of my very favorite philosopher-women came from Texas: Ann Richards, Barbara Jordan and Molly Ivans. You're doing a great job carrying the sassy, smart and sensitive flag for these women! <BR/><BR/>Great job on the post - and I loved seeing the various versions of the flag! Only 53 days till we get there - and 54 till we get to see the Alamo for ourselves. ::hygs::beckpersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03714713068583512270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37145685.post-49198565871832509332008-03-03T13:43:00.000-06:002008-03-03T13:43:00.000-06:00Happy belated Independence Day, Tex.Happy belated Independence Day, Tex.~**Dawn**~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06179560051128719637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37145685.post-2808383217557388962008-03-02T13:15:00.000-06:002008-03-02T13:15:00.000-06:00yep...Santa Anna refused to concede their independ...yep...Santa Anna refused to concede their independence. but our boys showed him.Texhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06662266315215108085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37145685.post-57188716909229029152008-03-02T12:58:00.000-06:002008-03-02T12:58:00.000-06:00Nicely done, Tex.

I've always been fascinated by the bravery of those men, who knew it was hopless, yet fought for so long. Glad you mentioned they held Santa Anna off long enough for Sam Houston to assemble his army.<BR/><BR/>Tex, I KNOW you're about a lot more than just Beckett and Boston. But I'm glad you showed this other side of you too.<BR/><BR/>Good job, sis.Ted Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17194317104263591515noreply@blogger.com
