45. nobody should hate on Texas.

I really didn't get the impression that they were doing that, Paladin; but I understand your emotion. It seemed to me like they were calling out the dumb voters that put this clown into office by seeing if they'd like it if their own land was treated that way. Texas has no franchise on dumb voters. And Texas gave us Bill Moyers, Jim Hightower, Molly Ivins, Kenny Dorham (look him up), and many more. Solidarity.
