13. Texas produced Ann Richards - I have faith in Texas

Eventually the millions of sane decent hardworking people of Texas will squash the crazies.

Yes the gun toting, pick up loving, cow eating, oil folks in Texas poke fun at the sandal wearing, Vegan, bike riding, bean sprout and avocado crowd and vise versa but most of us all want what's best for the vast majority of Americans and for the world in general. With that basis we can have some respect for each other and still poke a little fun.

But the rise of the evangelicals and teanuts have just poisoned the discourse. Eventually those groups will get neutered and the 1% will have to figure out another way to keep us all fighting with each other rather than all 99% of us go at the 1% with pitchforks.

We can always hope that by the time the whackjobs get neutered we'll have all gotten wise to the game and decide to work together.
