If we DID have the National Guard take over Texas...what should they impose on it? [View all]

(They think we're conspiring to do this anyway, might as well have some fun with it while this lasts).

Myself, I'd impose a 5pm nightly strutting curfew, a strict "share your stash with Willie" policy, and a ban on "well-done" steak.

Add your suggestions below.
