Thank you for your kind words. You are correct with one exception...Austin. We live here. The folks here are not SANE...except for the Freepers of course!
Austin is the liberal mecca of Texas. Think Berkley, but deep in the heart of Texas.
It just doesn't make any sense, until you factor in TU being there. It's amazing to think that A&M is so staunchly conservative, yet TU is so liberal.
