All too many of its citizens want to do is control women, allow schools, churches, and other places to be shot up, and basically parade around in big hats and cowboy boots telling everyone how great they are. I don't get it. I really don't.

And now, you can freeze your butt one season and roast it another! Ain't it great? Yeeehawww!!!

(And I have a niece who lives just north of Dallas with her husband and two little boys.)
