> Since when is Texas a pejorative? 'Pray for rain' type politicians and Taliban style government. (Rick Perry, the Bushes, Paxton and Abbott) Cronyism run rampant. Some of the most corrupt corporations. The electrical grid collapse, Refinery explosions, West Fertilizer Company explosion, Result of letting corporations 'regulate themselves' Cowboyism/Ignorance as a virtue. One the most polluted states. The only reason Texas can be in the world top 15 economy is due to population and landmass size, along with its dependency on oil. But given Texas is second in state population behind California and California is #5 in the world, I'd argue it's not doing as well as it could be. Oh, and the weather in Texas is less preferable to having a weasel clamp down on your balls.
