As a conservative I'm so sick of Austin being type-casted as this liberal commune because of some kooky college kids and goofy old people living around UT & near South Austin. |

What happened was one of them saw a filthy bum begging two gay guys holding hands for change, while a hint of reefer smoke blew through the air. Meanwhile some deranged drag queen was doing jumping jacks in the median of some street nearby.
Therefore Austin = SF. 
Just make sure you don't tell them you can find this same display in Houston and Galveston if you go looking for it, or it might spoil the fantasy. |

Austin is far more like the rest of the State of Texas then California. Most of Austin is very proud to be part of Texas.
Don't let a bunch of goofy college kids give the whole city a bad name.

Agreed. I'm a Sooner fan so you know I gotta rib the Longhorn fans.  All in good fun! |

Austin is only slightly more like California than the rest of Texas. It's far from being a 'liberal commune'; after all, it's in Texas. Also, in my experience CA isn't all that liberal overall. Certains parts of it are, but a lot of it isn't.

It's about the fact that someone suggested cutting Austin out of Central Texas for one of the 5 states and selling Austin to California. So it's on topic.

I guess you need to get your head out of the sand,theloneranger. We are already seperated into 5 states if you want to be technical about it. We have five seperate areas already: 1.North Texas,2.West Texas,3.Central Texas,4.East Texas & 5.South Texas.
