Dayve, you're a smart guy. Did I say that all Texans talk like Dubya? Did I say that? No. I know, love, and am related to plenty of folks who don't chew, don't wear cowboy hats and still say "y'all" and "tell your mama 'hey' for me." Which one of us is trafficking in cliches?

What is the matter with people??? With all this black & white thinking it's a wonder any rational discussion happens anywhere! Grrr. Argh.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

OK. My contributions to 'what real Texans are like' lore. Pickup truck with a gun rack. And, you can tell when it's been a drinkin' holliday (like the Fourth) by how many utiily poles are down the next day.

The redneck factor is not strictly limited to the state of Texas. I have traversed this country many times, and believe me, they're everywhere.

HK, my apologies. I tend to get defensive when I am equated with George Bush.
