"In the 1980s the state got flooded with people angry that their jobs and chances and history were all lost in the rust belt implosion." Boy howdy. That changed a lot of things, none to the good.

This also displaced a lot of natives who had a comfortable, if low cost life. They all seem determined take out their anger on someone. Dare to be Stupid is the new state motto. I agree. I think there is something very wrong in TX. I like you and CJ....but some of the stuff coming out of that state seems like sheer craziness. To think that a crooked bug sprayer could get renominated from his party is beyond the pale.
