[QUOTE="D.R. Cattle, post: 38671, member: 19"] These statements aren't making a very good example of "intelligent" Texans. 1. Has anyone ever heard of Kennedy Space Center? Yeah it's that little place where the Shuttle is hangered and launched from. It's in Cape Canaveral, Florida for those who fall a little short on the IQ scale. Houston's job is to listen when the astronaut says he has a problem. 2. Defense? Exactly which 65% of the industry is it. Does Texas make the boots and socks for the soldiers? Ever heard of Northrup Grumman? Harris Corp? Northrup Grumman is a leading source for warbirds and the like for the US Military. Harris Corp. produces radar and signal related equipment (currently employs 10,000). Texas doesn't have Raytheon monopolized. They have a huge facility 45 minutes North of my cow herd. That's just to name a few. 3. Health Centers? Can you produce written facts? 4. Ready supply of workers? Sure seems like a hell of a lot of them are ending up over here. 5. Paper, plastics, insurance? This is possibly the most absurd statement in this post. How do you control these things? Is the raw materials supply for these items in Texas? 6. Foreign invasion? Will you call Walker Texas Ranger to defend you? Best defense would be to ward off the invasion from the get go. I guess your Border Patrol will be handling that. Oops, they're busy trying to keep Mexicans from swimming across the river. We'll send the Coast Gaurd and a huge bulk of the Navy from Florida to help out buddy. 7. OK. You're totally self sufficient in the food department, but so are many other states in the US. Especially those with a tropical climate whose growing season is 12 months per year. But then our massive excess in veggies is supporting the rest of the nation when they are under a sheet of ice. Do you really think you've got the market cornered on seafood and how to cook it? Hint: Florida is surrounded by 2 oceans, and a short boat ride from a 3rd. Nothing wrong with being optimistic, let's just not distort the facts. At least you guys produced a decent President for the rest of us. [/QUOTE]
