Wow. Your experience is limited, isn't it? Maybe you should factor in that person you see in the mirror.

Forgive me if I don't trust your god.

It is reported that a former governor of Colorado once said that if you gave all the Texans living in Colorado an enema you could fit them in a shoebox. Being full of yourself is OK, as long as you know where to draw the line.

That said, I love Texans. I love their drive and energy, even if they act a little puzzled and offended if the rest of the world doesn't want to be just like them. I love Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys (even though Bob was born in Oklahoma). Austin is fun, except the local adulation of Stevie Ray Vaughan is a little over the top. I dig Ding Dong Daddy Days in Dumas. And what's left of my immediate family all live in Texas, and I love them dearly.

I'm going to visit them in July, and I'll make the pilgrimage to Mellow Johnny's and buy a souvenir water bottle, and I'll be glad I have Colorado to come home to.

Yeah, what the KKK has done is barely a patch on what the Nazis were able to do.

Well, I believe Austin is considered to be either a blight on the by-God greatness of Texas in general, or an oasis of sanity in a sea of oversized self-importance. Depending on whether you are Texan or functioning with an education above the 8th grade, respectively.

Well, we'll be staying in an Austin yuppie suburb where the demographics are astonishingly multi-racial but decisively conservative Christian. Except for my mom, who says she doesn't go to church because her sleeping would just embarrass the rest of the family.

I was born and raised in Texas and we were never taught intelligent design in school.
