Post-script to Brandon Seale's podcast on the Republic of the Rio Grande.

Maybe the reason that Texans are so vocal about their "independence" is because they have a different notion of what it means to be independent. And maybe the reason they're so loud about it is because they've been trying  - without success apparently! - to explain their notion of "independence" for more than 200 years now.

These are some of the ideas that I try out in this speech that I gave a few months ago. Enjoy.
