Perhaps not for you , and not for me (I live 1,000 miles from my hometown, my mother is 1,300 miles from here and my sibs are between 400 and 2,000 miles from me), but for many people they are good reasons, and I can respect that. When I lived in Miami, I knew many people who moved there solely because they thought they'd like the weather there!

Illinois. That, and possibly Michigan.

Texas is a hellhole. Think of the geniuses who decided that having one of these morons run the country was a good idea. Let's give it to Mexico to make EVERYONE ELSE THAT LIVES IN THIS COUNTRY happy. (However, there are no guarantees that Mexico would actually want it)

Really funny, but I agree in some ways...you're going to get it real bad from the Texans here, I can just see it now

Lol, that is about the dumbest post I've read in a long time. Do you actually understand how much the state of Texas contributes to our country? Or that George Bush was one person in the huge state of Texas?

Do you realize it took a country of morons to elect him...twice?

Get a grip dude. I would consider Ohio and it's crummy economy more of a hell hole than Texas.

I don't know where you live, but I use heat for a lot longer than 3 months. Heating also requires a lot more energy than air conditioning. Just think of the energy to raise the temperature from 20 to 70 vs the energy to lower the temperature from 90 to 70. I don't mind the heat outside and I enjoy my time spent outside when it's hot, I just like 70 degrees inside. Just because someone uses air conditioning doesn't make them a slave to the air conditioner.

I don't support Bush but I would like living in Texas. I don't hold it against a state just because one person I don't like lives there.

Good point. I never heard or thought about that before.

Also I agree with you about the heat. My heat goes on at the end of October or the begining of November until April. And where I live its warmer than Syracuse or Boston (Zone 7 gardening ).

I assumed he was joking. Or trying to somehow. No one woud be ignorant enough to blame an entire state for one man.

You would be surprised the crap we have to put up with. I've actually had people in San Francisco stop talking to me because I said I was from Texas. Talk about closed-minded...
