Well, you could argue, but you'd lose that argument. Many Texans still have this attitude that they can do anything better than anyone else, and they don't need help from anyone, especially those educated eggheads from Washington. It's the United States of America, not some competition to see who's the best, or who's the most fiercely independent. We're all in this together.
