Texas Independence: I Fire the First Shot of the Rebellion

Twenty years after Texas became a country, a press conference is held in People's Square Number One.

A reporter asks Texas's highest-ranking leader:

"President Davis, what made you lead the people of Texas in firing the first shot for freedom?"

In response, Davis spreads his hands.

"I didn't think that much about it at the time. I only knew that Texas belonged to the people of Texas, not to politicians and capitalists."

"If the people of a free country have no freedom, can you really call them free?"

"So I wasn't the one who fired the first shot. It was the free people of Texas."

"The people know what they need."

"Just as when they get sick, they go to Texas People's Hospital."

"When they run out of money, they go to Texas Savings Bank to withdraw some."

"When they're hungry, they go to Texas Road for pork trotter rice."

"And it all began twenty years ago, when illegal immigrants forced their way across the border."
