Why Are There So Many Rednecks In Texas?

not to answer your question per se, but found this and it is hilarious…
Smackdown: 50 Reasons Why Texas Sucks
1. Texans. Socially retarded acts of bravado. Lack of self awareness.
Isolationistic in thought. Kind of like someone who was raised under a
rock, but the rock was big, so they boast about how big the rock was.
There’s more, but, man, it’s so sad – and they don’t even know it!
2. Texas politics. I am a conservative who votes republican. Texans are rednecks who vote republican. should I buy an “I’m with stupid” T-shirt?
3. Tx is a Mexican border state. Complete with roads traveled by drug
cartels feeding the increasing violent crime rate, drug use, and ever
expanding prison population in Tx. That isn’t nice and I don’t have
this problem in my state.
4. Is EVERYONE in Tx chewing tobacco??
5. Leading state for hate groups. There are more known hate
groups in tx then any other state. They all hate different groups for
different reasons. When you get right down to it, no one is safe in tx
- not even texans. Testament to tx long tradition of nice, down to
earth, clan members and level-headed cult fanatics.
6. There are Two seasons in Tx, hot and hotter. There is a third if
you count the hurricane season. A fourth if you count squirrel
season.
7. Texas’ branding of Tex-mex. Uh, we all know it’s just Mexican.
Maybe Kansas should capitalize on Cantonese food and call it
Kan-Can. It’s catchier, and doesn’t sound like a gas station when
you say it.
8. Over industrialization of undesirable industries. Yes, when you
visit tx, you get the full impact of what a cesspool they’ve made out
of their state with factories, oil refineries, and chemical plants.
Don’t get me wrong, it is good somebody is manufacturing this stuff
out there, but, man, you’ve got to be six flags short of a theme park
to live amongst the stench-filled, chemical run-off, heat-fest that is
tx.
9. Texas as a state ranks in the top 5 of all states for all major
pollutants. Go figure. The EPA says you can’t breathe the air for fear
of carcinogens, can’t drink the water for fear of toxins, can’t eat
the seafood for fear of mercury poisoning, and the Taiwanese plants
spill high levels of run-off into the neighborhoods. That isn’t good
either!
