Texas

Texas is alright. Very warm there, but nice beaches. The people are friendly enough, lots of diversity in cultures in Texas. I don't blame Texans for the people that come out of there. If I did I'd have to blame them for David Koresh too.

Texas is a state in both the Southern and Western regions of the United States of America. The state name derives from a word in the Caddoan language of the Hasinai: táysha?, tecas, or tejas (Spanish spelling); meaning "those who are friends", "friends", or "allies".[1] Texas declared its independence from Mexico in 1836 and existed as the independent Republic of Texas for nearly a decade. It joined the United States in 1845 as the 28th state. With an area of 268,581 square miles and a population of 22.8 million, Texas is second to Alaska in area, and second to California in population.

I was born and raised in Texas. To me the people of Texas are friendly. I have never in my life felt like an outsider, since I am hispanic, I never felt the prejudice. I really don't blame Bush, he only does what he is told to do. But that is only my opinion.

I live in Texas, and I love it. I'm not a conservative, but neither is everyone in the state, contrary to popular belief. I love the state because it's like a whole other country, and it's an underdog to big bad California. Texas has nothing to do with Bush. He's originally from Connecticut, and it's just unfortunate that he's saddled with a Texan accent, which makes everyone hate the state as well as him. Speaking of accents, not all Texans have a Southern twang. It's mostly older generations who are native to the state and people who live in rural areas. Plenty of people have moved from the North down to cities like Dallas and Houston, so just as many neutral or "Yankee" accents are heard as Southern ones among the adult population. With the younger generations, the strong Texan accent has all but disappeared in the cities, and most kids now speak with a neutral tone. The people are no different from those of the rest of the country; we are not cowboys, do not ride horses, or listen to country music all day. Texans are as sophisticated as people from other states, contrary to popular belief, and in most cases, we are even more sophisticated than other states. Whole Foods Market and Neiman Marcus originate here, which many people would probably find hard to believe. Oil and cattle-ranching are not the only economies down here; we probably have more business operations and corporate headquarters than every other state except California and New York. I've been all over Texas, and I live here, so I can assure all the doubters than we have just as many trees and just as much grass as your state. Our state might not be particularly scenic, but we can hold our own. We certainly don't live in a desert.
