Thanks so much for your post. I was trying to communicate something similar to a poster on another thread who has made up their mind that Texans are all jerks because they have had business dealings with a few bad apples. I really tried to get through to them that we are better than what they believe, but they are resolved to think the worst, unfortunately.
Sadly, some people don’t want to open their eyes or heart to see the real world and the people that live in it. I feel sorry for them, because they are missing out on an awesome life.
