Texas is awesome regardless if they make guns or not. Some of the best people and places I have been fortunate to see. ( outside of Houston of course )

I used to absolutely despise Texas because I had to drive across it twice. But I went to Galveston and Austin this year and man Austin is awesome. I even liked what little I saw of Houston. Galveston wasn't much to write home about though.

You Texans have a huge superiority complex, almost to the level of New Yorkers.

Austin is starting to remind me too much of Seattle. too many techies, not enough blue collars. San Antonio is more of my kind of Town.

I just like the river running through it, all the green and the rolling hills. And I'm actually a fan of humidity having grown up in thick humidity. Now living in New Mexico, I'm parched.

I talk crap about Houston, and mainly because I was always around the oil refinery districts hauling in parts and materials. I had a few run in's with street thugs who thought that I was supposed to let them have access to my truck, or give them my money.

Got a little tasty a few times. :)

Highest supplemental poverty rate in the Nation.

The worst state to do business in the Nation.

Among the highest taxes and fees in the Nation.

The worst state in the Nation for economic equality

The list goes on an on.

All brought to it's citizens exclusively by liberal/socialist progressives.

I remember back in the early to mid 60's, it seemed that a lot of people we knew migrated to California from Texas.

Welcome back.

Well, I wish I could offer some advice to help you do the same. But I got nothing.

Perhaps work on your punctuation. But I don't think that is going to help you too much.

Is it OK to say Texas AND California are states that are doing well or are we supposed to take sides in this faux war?

Legalizing weed is as dumb as it gets.

We in Oregon are seeing a lot of extra criminal and traffic problems because of it. Spaced out dopers are crashing cars like never before. People growing dope are being robbed and murdered at an unprecedented rate, the court system is even more bogged down, as well as the overflow in jails.

There is nothing good that comes out of dope....except when the dopers OD!

Naw...just deny like always.

I left California 38 years ago, sad at first, and depressed, but now....... happy that I did. My gun freedoms alone in Oregon, have been spectacular. My food is less, property is less, everything is less.....but we survive nicely. Screw the liberal Calif. politicians and all the other misfits.
