Texas is a State of Mind, Heart and Attitude.
That goes something like this:
“Leave us alone to live our lives in peace and we will get along fine, if that his not satisfactory, we will deal with it.”

Did you know “Don’t mess with Texas” was actually anti-litter campaign created by Texas state government? True, it was a campaign that seemed slightly aggressive for it's intended purpose. Don't Mess with Texas was geared towards young males as the target audience for roadside littering, and it became one of those great slogans that catch on.
When I was with the French army, I became more Texan than I have ever been, they just loved it. New York left them totally cold as my state prideful, state competitive, New Yorker translator learned from the first night. "JR!", "Dallas!", this was in the 1980s, being Texan was like being a bit of a superstar, even in the bars and with females, it worked.

Yep, and I loved the TV commercial with the B-17 coming over the horizon too. All the pussy’s didn’t like the slogan and commercial cause it presented us as being too uncivilized and barbaric.
I always meant to write all of em a letter suggesting if they did not think us Texans were civilized enough then they could move to Iran or Iraq.

Everyone in Texas who has a tv knows that. They still run the ads all the time.

“Leave us alone to live our lives in peace and we will get along fine, if that his not satisfactory, we will deal with it.”
That sums it up for me.

Some things simply do not change, do they?
Some have told me it is in the water, but I think it is really in the air. Once you breath a full breath of freedom, you never recover as long as you draw breath.
