This whole thing is making it really hard for me to go without bashing Texas a bunch. I mean, I know it's got that stereotype that they are all right-wing religious nuts but gotta try to not generalize and stuff like that. But then you see parts of Texas actually being that stereotype it's hard to really get past it.

I think there might be something wrong with just most of the south of the US. Texas is like religion crazy, Arizona is immigrant crazy, Florida is just plain crazy, California is...well it's California. Although I never hear anything about New Mexico, Mississippi only really comes up when things flood, and Louisiana just gets screwed over a bunch it seems. In fact, as an outsider it seems like Alabama is the only one that hasn't lived up to it's reputation for me yet. Maybe it just does a better job at containing it's madness from international media.
