Texas is because the world exists. I can say, with perfect confidence, that if the world did not exist, neither would Texas. However, the world could still exist without Texas, so I must be more specific. Texas exists because the United States went to war with Mexico. If the war had not been fought, Texas would not exist. Finally, Texas exists because "Western" languages (including Spanish and English) come from Latin. I conclude that if Latin was never invented, Texas would not exist. Then we could call it )**^+, which is the symbol for the Republic formerly known as Texas.

But isn't Texas still even if we don't have 'latin based writing'??
And Texas is also even if the mexicans call it by some other name??

An Essay on Texas

To delve deeply into Texas is an exciting adventure. I find my self constantly drawn back to the subject of Texas. Remarkably Texas is heralded by shopkeepers and investment bankers alike, leading many to state that it is impossible to overestimate its impact on modern thought. The juxtapositioning of Texas with fundamental economic, social and political strategic conflict draws criticism from the aristocracy, many of whom blame the influence of television. Hold onto your hats as we begin a journey into Texas.

Social Factors

Society is a simple word with a very complex definition. When Sir Bernard Chivilary said 'hounds will feast on society' [1] he borrowed much from Texas. While deviating from the norm will always cause unrest amongst ones peers, Texas provides standards by which we may judge our selves.

Of paramount importance to any study of Texas within its context, is understanding the ideals of society. It grows stonger every day.

Economic Factors

Economics has been defined as 'I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine.' To my learned ear that sounds like two people with itchy backs. We shall examine the Lead-a-Duck-to-Water model, a classic economic system of analysis.

Average Wage

Texas

Indisputably there is a link. How can this be explained? Clearly the average wage is in financial terms 'holding hands with Texas.' Supply Side Economic Tax Cuts Tax deductions could turn out to be a risky tactic.

Political Factors

Much of the writings of historians display the conquests of the most powerful nations over less powerful ones. Placing theory on the scales of justice and weighing it against practice can produce similar results to contrasting playing with a puppy and singing with a blackbird.

Let us consider the words of that silver tongued orator, one of the great political analysts Aaron Tuigamala 'political change changes politics, but where does it go?' [2] I argue that his insight into Texas provided the inspiration for these great words. If our political system can be seen as a cake, then Texas makes a good case for being the icing.
Is Texas politically correct, in every sense? Each man, woman and to a lesser extent, child, must make up their own mind.

Conclusion

In summary, Texas is, to use the language of the streets 'Super Cool.' It establishes order, 'literally' plants seeds for harvest,, though Texas brings with it obvious difficulties, it is truly Texas.

Here with the final word is Hollywood's Beyonce Spielberg: 'It's been nice educating you.' [3]

No, becuase if not for the base of English upon Latin then one could conclude that it could be called anything. For instance, the state of Texas might be called The Blobby-Header Crumple Face Place and would, therefore, not be Texas because it would not be called Texas

Yes but it would still have the spirit of Texas in it.
That is good enough for me!
