And, yes that it is southeast. Hubby worked in Lake Charles LA when he lived there.

Actually, I know where Ft. Hood is, too but it was a looooooong empty road the route I took to get there because I was cutting across from Ft. Polk. I hated Ft. Polk. It was the only post I ever hated.

Vidor is in Southeast Texas

Sweetwater is in Central West Texas

Lubbock is in the Panhandle Plains

from when he lived there but then, it’s probably always been a racist town, huh? Personally I liked his stories about west Texas better even if there wasn’t much there.

and that it notorious for being a racist town. Not much out there and if you were in a town that was closer to a big Metro area like Houston or Dallas/Ft Worth, there is plenty to do. Some of the most republican towns are close to big cities.

All I know about Texas other than what hits the political news and travelogues is what hubby tells me because he lived there for 25 years.

Here in Houston it is a regular Tower of Babel. We have lots of Mexicans, But we also have Dominicans, Hondurians, and a sizable amount of Cubans. To make it more fun we have a big Filipino community who can speak a sort of Spanish.

None of them understand each other very well and then you throw in all the Anglos like me who speak only broken Spanish, and the people who speak no Spanish and no English (lots of those here)

It gets crazy in any department store or just out on the street. A sort of sign language along with pidgen English is often employed.

Are you at least 30?

Have you worked and paid taxes for at least 5 years?

Only then can we get those that have at least started growing a brain to elect our elected leaders.

here in Texas. Need to let DPS know about that. BTW, we have 24 millon people but most live in urban areas like Houston metro or Dallas/Ft Worth. So there is plenty of land to settle.

They presented us with data, often opposing viewpoints on a subject, prodded us to research and then spent hours listening and fostering discussion. We weren’t presented with one view and that view reinforced by the instructor, it was our views that we had to develop and defend with our peers and their own views and ideas. My kids don’t have any experience with this in HS anymore. One side is presented and reinforced by the authority figure. The most valuable thing I learned in HS was that I was capable of independent thought. Granted, this was a while ago, although my books weren’t carved on slabs of stone like another commenter here, but its a dead technique in education today.
