Wish I knew where to start re this rant about nothing.
I am a native Texan. Spent all my working years in California, currently live in Arizona by choice. I am one who DOES judge states, cities, political parties, politicians, and v**ers on TWO things, precious little else:
Individual freedoms coupled with responsibility
Quality of decency of the people involved
Any entity that doesn't measure up to those two positive qualities, never gets my v**e.
A state that stifles freedoms and exists by virtue of rules, regulations, and stifling laws is a no-starter in my list of "likes".
A state that k**ls jobs by virtue of rules, regs, stifling laws is a no-starter.
A state that cannot handle its affairs without taxing the citizens to death is a no-starter.
A state that demands to control every aspect of every one's life is a no-starter.
A state that is a welfare haven fits all of the above and is absolutely a no-starter.
A state that is known for its criminal activity, especially when the criminals are not punished is an absolute no-starter.
Every state from time to time might seem to fit some of these characterizations, and every state from time to time fit none of these characterizations, but PRECIOUS FEW FIT NONE OF THESE CHARACTERIZATIONS MOST OF THE TIME, AND those states are to be lauded. Texas is one of those states. Arizona is one of those states. Oklahoma is one of those states.
Illinois has never and will never be one of those states. N.J. has never and will never be one of those states. NV never has been and never will be one of those states. California has never and will never be one of those states.
You can rant as long as you wish, but so far you haven't the authority to stop people from applauding states that do good work rather than bad work.
