As I have posted a few times, my wife is pretty pro Texas. I do not have alot of knowledge about the state but the couple of times that I have been there I have experienced the following… hot and humid, extreme flatness…on the flip side, the state seems to be well run and the people are pretty friendly. The state is by no means immune from the downturn but the economy there does seem to be a bit better then here and the schools are much better. Now I am not sure about this but I think it is the only state in the union with a right of secession or something like that. Someone can correct me on that because I honestly don’t know what I am talking about but my wife is always bringing that up.
If you want to really talk extreme you may want to consider converting (or maybe your faith already is) mormon. I believe that people of this faith are very well positioned to survive a more cataclysmic change in or society should it occur. For all the talk on this board about people hoarding gold, buying a shotgun to protect your home, and such, if the sheeyat really hits the fan and the fabric does fall apart, I feel that only the most well organized LARGE groups will do okay. Smaller more survivalist types who have literally sold out and bought land in remote rural areas and banded together have a chance. However for someone to think they will hole up in thier home in Clairemont with a Honda generator and a shotgun eating cheerios and macaroni and cheese… I just don’t see it happening.
