Good for you. I don't. I care for what I feel a part of. I've lived in a lot of areas of the country and I'll take ugly old Texas.
I really don't feel any connection to a lot of other areas and just like the people here. That's what is so great about our country. If you don't like a part of it.... you can move.
Freedom is just peachy.
You are living in a parallel universe. I have lived in a lot of areas of this country and being an American trumps any alliegence to a particular state. My allegience is to the Constitution of the United States of America.
“ugly old Texas”
Ugly? UGLY? Them kinda words around here can get you into a fight! :-)
