I just have too many friends and family who live there to hate it in its entirety. Some of them need to be awakened. I'm from Texas and I can't stand it. I don't get it. It ain't pretty. But the people are voting for such morons. Abbott is the coldest of the cold. Maybe that's what keeps them there. Just let them be. They're too ignorant to see.

BTW loving your articles! I cannot read them all, but all look like great reading. You're much more productive than I am lately!
