       Ask yourself: Can this only happen in Texas? I think not. University professor almost loses her job when nobody can even specify what she said. With crap like this going on, American universities will not long be leaders in the world of higher education and research. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/07/25/texas-a-m-professor-opioids-dan-patrick/

       @johnhattan @JohnShirley2023 @philo These people are hilarious! "A monetary fee is paid to the United States in exchange for a majority of our protection from overseas aggression although Sabini does have its own military force that can be called upon." Yeah, I'm sure the Pentagon is aware of this arrangement, and bills them yearly...

       @johnhattan @JohnShirley2023 @philo So many thoughts come up... Does this sovereign nation have open borders? You know a nation without controlled borders is no nation at all. Does the Texas Ranger Division have jurisdiction there? Who's going to tell them they don't? Do they maintain their own roads? (Maybe some of the answers are in their constitution, but I don't have time to read the whole thing.)

       @philo @johnhattan @JohnShirley2023 In the tech industry, we call that Security through Obscurity. 😀

       @philo @JohnShirley2023 @johnhattan I am so tempted to set up a website for my own sovereign nation. I won't specify where on earth it exists, but I think I'll say it's an oligarchy ruled over by the crows who hang out there. Taxes are paid in shiny objects. The country has its own official language, which is a language isolate and has only one word, which is the name of the country. I'm leaning towards making that name sound exactly an English word you can't say on broadcast media...
