    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    Full property rights are not granted indeed. This is because America was founded as a proto-communist state. It did away with full property rights such as existed in Europe. In pinko-liberal America, social rights prevail over a man's natural right of property. Bloody Marxists, I say.

    True. Almost killed the Pilgrims it did.

    I take it this means you could buy up Detroit for example, evict everybody and rebuild it from scratch. What's next, cybernetic law enforcement?

    Just thought I'd throw this out there for the sake of my blood.

    The main difference between Cajun and Texan, is that Texan may be state of mind, but Cajun is an Ethnic category, covering around 500,000 people primarily in Louisiana and east Texas.

    I'd wager there are more than 500,000. SE Texas has a very high prescene of cajuns. Not to mention it says 5 million at the top of that thing.

    Thats what makes Texas great though.


    The Americans
    Alabama - 3 Maryland - 1 Pennsylvania - 14
    Arkansas - 2 Missouri - 6 Rhode Island - 1
    Connecticut - 1 Mississippi - 3 South Carolina - 7
    Georgia - 5 North Carolina - 7 Tennessee - 30
    Illinois - 1 New Hampshire - 1 Texas - 11
    Kentucky - 15 New Jersey - 1 Virginia - 12
    Louisiana - 4 New York - 6 Vermont - 1
    Massachusetts - 4 Ohio - 4 Unknown - 15

    The Europeans
    Denmark - 1 Germany - 2 Scotland - 4
    England - 12 Ireland - 9 Wales - 1 Spain-2
    France-3

    Those were the defenders at the Alamo. They were born thousands of miles apart but they all fell within a football field of eachother. Thats what makes Texas so powerful, Its more than a state. It's an idea. People from all over the world know what a Texan is. No other state can say that.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    You're saying something ridiculous.


    If you really think the rest of the world recognizes Texas and Texans, you're fooling yourself. I've traveled Europe with several. People just think they talk funny.

    States such as New York or California are far more recognized and known. And why not? Media is the U.S.'s largest export.

    Well that's rather disheartening.

    I would guess that internationally, when people think "New York", they are thinking of the city and not the state. Or if they do think of the state, its image doesn't go much beyond the city. This is a shame, because the rest of the state is quite beautiful.

    Yoyoma's pretty much right. I don't think many people would now what the difference between a state or a city, they do pretty much think of the city though... and until i learnt differently i thought new york was the capital (i was quite young) but i now quite a few others who also got confused...

    Texas is probably third most famous state (over here at least) fairly close to california... Bush will have boosted your recognition somewhat though...
