Just because you live in one of the few free states in the north does not mean I need to “look at myself and clean house” before noting the incredible levels of awfulness and corruption in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode island, New York and New Jersey.
Whats your point? Certainly not that TX is somehow less corrupt. Lets cut to the chase...TX is nothing special and, like KA, completely over hyped. You have more than your share of looney liberals and all the problems that plague the rest of the country. What you seem to have more of than any other state is chest beaters who’ve never been out of state or town. The world is a big place and your end of it isn’t as great as you might imagine.
