"Like most passionate nations, Texas has its own history based on, but not limited by, facts.” - John Steinbeck, Travels With Charlie, 1962 Two gunmen walked a ridge line several hundred feet above where we sat. I saw them on either side of the canyon as we connected our TV camera gear. The rifles they cradled had high-powered scopes and a few times they raised them in our direction as if they were sighting a target in the cross hairs. Maintaining my concentration was not going to be a simple task.
I saw these clowns in front of Ace Hardware in Fredericksburg. People would walk up and sign the Texit petition with less thought than they'd take filling out a two item grocery list. These are good people who have built up one heck of a mad on. Shame on Cruz and others for encouraging such behavior. When did we become so hateful, so adversarial? Do we really believe that our disagreements are so fixed as to be inviolable? I read the other day that we have two ears and one mouth and should use these devices accordingly. And throw in some patience, tolerance and forgiveness in the bargain.
