  Why is that a fly in the ointment, Adamah? Cofty posed a very specific question with certain things accepted as true for the pupose of conversation, that happens all the time in debate, philosophy and science.

  Flamegrilled, your analogies are still broken. Not buying a car doesn't = not generous. Also, a not generous act isn't equivalent to negligence. Finally, in soccer, hockey, Australian and American football and rugby, backwards moves are part of a valid strategy with the entire field visible and an explantion for the call.

  In the first, you are trying to claim an equivalence between a non-harmful non-action and and a deadly non-action. In the second, you are trying to create an equivalence between a visible, well know and explainable strategy or tactic and an unknown ungraspable unexplainable deadly non-action. In neither case are those equivalent.

  I've spent a ton of time in Austin and Round Rock, it's an interesting place considering a lot of the rest of Texas.

  Yes, I know it means what it says. It's says "don't litter". It's nothing more than that. I've spent an incredible amount of time in Texas in Dalllas, Forth Worth, Austin, Houston and San Antonio, it's not much different from anywhere else.

  Okies are the 2nd worst ;)

  I've lived all over and I can tell you that there are really good things and really crappy things about everywhere, including where I live now (although where I live now you can go snowboarding and golfing, both in apropriate weather, in the same weekend). Some of the law here though, are stupid and suck. Everything has it's good and bad.

  Viola, I didn't say you were speaking from ignorance, I am just saying that te saying "don't mess with Texas" is about littering and doesn't really have any other application. Texas generally shut up and takes it like every other state.

  Sooner, there are a ton of things I love about Texas, two of my best friends live there, but in other ways it a really really messed up place. A lot of other states have the same problem, so I'm not just saying Texas is like that, but it is weird in some ways.

  Completely off topic, I did meet Ted Nugent in Texas, at a hole-in-the-wall BBQ joint in the middle of nowhere....

  "Don't mess with Texas" is a phrase the state came up with about littering. Texas, for all their bluster, shuts up and takes it just like every other state.

  And bear in mind when I say that, I've spent months and months in Texas and know a ton of people from there, I'm not talking from ignorance.
