    The quintessential good old boy state. And proud of it. It is no joke that they do not fly their state flag lower than the US flag. Same height. Been there, seen it.
    Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.

    Capitalism built the power plants, the distribution system, AND the houses and appliances that use electricity.
    Fuck you.

    Yes, Federal money is flowing into Texas to try to help them recover from their stupidity. That Federal money comes (in-part) from me.

    who have the uneducated white cracker element dancing at the end of puppet strings.
