SadSue 0 #1 November 15, 2003 So let's talk politics... the last time Texas "dragged" anything it was a black man chained to a car and driven until his body parts fell off...now they have a governor's race (no pun intended!) between a woman and an Indian immigrant.....shocking!! Do you think that MAYBE Texas is shedding its knee-jerk "how dare you criticize us for lynching our own" attitude and is dragging itself into the (shocking!!!) 21st century, where everyone has a free hand and a fair shake?

I know because I've dialed a few of them. You can have them blocked from your line though... The only thing backwards about Texas is that you can't buy liquor 24/7 in any grocery store like you can in CA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #7 November 15, 2003 QuoteThe only thing backwards about Texas is that you can't buy liquor 24/7 in any grocery store like you can in CA Yup, that bugs me too...you really have to plan if you're going to drink that night, get there before 9pm (that's when they close). Or go out to a bar (till 2am in B/CS). edit: Oh, we've had a women governer before, and we've had all sorts of minority groups have canidates run before, so this really isn't anything new. I just think you don't actually know a damn thing about Texas.

Hooknswoop 19 #9 November 15, 2003 My TX philosphy: TX reserves the right to leave the union. Fine, get out. We'll build a wall around TX and texans will need a passport to enter the U.S. We'll divide CA into NC and SC so we don't have to change the flag.

meltdown 0 #11 November 15, 2003 "Texas" didn't drag anybody to death. A couple of losers did, and they paid dearly. In your state, the criminals are always "victims", and the state is held hostage by liberal interest groups, not to mention the $18 billion deficit. Maybe that's why so many left coasters are moving to Austin. Who's backwards? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Liquor sales are not allowed between 2 am and 6 am at bars, restaurants, and retail stores... to prevent people from leaving the bar at 2 am, walking into a grocery and getting more booze, and continuing to drink.
