I don't know if there are others in your camp, I'm new to the party. I just noticed that it seemed like you were asking for argument and sure enough...

Now here's what I find fascinating, as an internet surfer- I can't tell you how many right-wing posts I read from people who identify themselves as being from the Great State of Texas. Now don't get me wrong, I've met some wonderful people in Dallas and I've never been to Austin but I've heard great things.

That said, when I peruse music reviews on Amazon.com, I can't count how many haters of the new Neil Young or the new Dixie Chicks or the new Pearl Jam all come from TEXAS.

And I just now noticed where you identify as coming from. It's amazing.

Unless all these people are you, Pat, I just want to know, what the f is in the water in Texas? Maybe you should secede from the Union after all... ;-)
