It was many years ago and I vowed never to step foot in the state again. It seems to be far worse now than it was then. You have my sympathy. I was young when I left, but at my age now, it probably wouldn't be possible. It is a shame, as I really met a lot of great, generous people in Texas, but the ignorant haters ruined it for everyone and most of the haters were heavily armed.
