> you talk like a Texan


So just how the hell does a Texan talk?

And why the hell should he leave his native home just because he does not think like you? Even if his views do leak out - so What! Do we really have to all agree - Germany Style, in order to live together?

And just who was it in the first place; that labelled these places like Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and even Utah, as ultra conservative or whatever it is that you think they are?

It wasn't them!

And why would you subscribe to such labeling and stereotyping anyway? Reality is, according to Time magazine, that these are broadly the most politically and culturally diverse states of all, in the whole country (no; it ain't California - not even close!).

Or maybe you just don't like diversity - especially diversity of political opinion. Or maybe your stereotypes are just plain old-fashioned bigotry - pure and simple. Think about it.

Whatever - just keep it to yourself - and stick to train talk. But If you must get political, at least respectfully present the case for your own view, and leave the other guy alone. That is, if you have any rational hope to get along!
