“And the people! Biggest bunch of hateful unfriendly bastards I ever met, anywhere. Especially out here in the country.”
Hey NT, thanks for my first real laugh of the morning. I know exactly what you are saying. I turned down the “opportunity” to move to Texas way back in the ‘70s. My takeaway was that unless you were born there, or had lived there for twenty years or more, you were going to be “branded” as an outsider and shunned.
And their racial attitudes are neanderthal. When I asked the mayor of the town where I was to become a plant manager if the city’s public swimming pool was integrated he said; “Wy sho, course the nixxer’s don’t come ‘cause they know they ain’t welcome.” Also, liquor laws are from the Dark Ages and at the time the teachers were allowed by law to hit your kid.
His entire post went right over your head.
>> the teachers were allowed by law to hit your kid
The meaning of “hit your kid” has certainly changed over the years, hasn’t it? :-)
Why, they still have the Death Penalty in Texas and they actually use it. “He needed killin’” is an adequate defense in court. And they pick cripples to run their government instead of cute blondies. Stay away from there.
