I'm a Texan, and I am ashamed of the death penalty. I moved as soon as I could get out of that draconian hell hole. Texas is the most full of shit state in the Union.
they claim to be a state of freedom, but they interject religion into there laws all the time. try buying liquor on a Sunday. Trying to teach your kids science, to bad, they have to learn creationism along side evolution, as if Christianity is fucking valid in science.
They claim that they can secede from the union. they can't. they gave that right up when they signed on to the federal cooperation act.
They act like the state is pretty. It isn't. travel west to rockies or the ocean and you will see texas is butt fucking ugly, hot and miserable.
they are completely intolerant of weed, Muslims, and gays.
George Bush Jr. and Rick Perry have put men to death that have been proven innocent by DNA tests after there deaths.
FUCK TEXAS. My current state has lower taxes, better gun, laws, and medical weed laws.
There court system is racist and they have the most intrusive laws ever. Not to mention el paso fbi is bought out by drug cartels as proven by a wistle blower recently.
BTW "Don't Mess with Texas" is just an anti littering add campaign that jackasses miss quote.
As a resident of Texas for 20 years I am heartened to learn that you kept an open mind about the Republic.
