I dearly love the state of Texas, but I consider that a harmless perversion on my part, and discuss it only with consenting adults.
I'm from Texas, and one of the reasons I like Texas is because there's no one in control.
The only state that could ever really look after itself is Texas, and we don't want that.
Texas is a state of mind. Texas is an obsession. Above all, Texas is a nation in every sense of the word.
