Hell on Earth.
I don’t think of my country, the United States of America,
as exceptional. It’s merely an ordinary country. Run by politicians. A country
no more exceptional than Italy
or Iceland or Scotland or Russia. I live in Italy. In fall
and winter. With my Italian true love. Now there’s someone that’s exceptional.
My true love. Maybe it’s that I’m not in love with my country. Don’t get me
wrong It’s a nice country. Especially where I live. In Minnesota. But there are several places in
the U.S.
where I wouldn’t want to live. Texas,
for instance. I think of Texas
as hell. Mostly because of the political climate. Some of America’s worst politicians come
from Texas.-- Jim Broede

You know Texas does have some pretty good points. One of which is the ability for Texans to protect themselves with deadly force if necessary against would-be attackers. i also have to appreciate the death penalty. Texas is supposed to be one of the best states to retire in. So I really don't know that we should consider Texas as hell.
Good thing I know you are kidding, Kelly. Unfortunately, many Texans aren't kidding. --Jim
