I meant human rights wise...I believe only China executes more people than Texas each year? Also, what was the last war actually fought on U.S. soil? The civil war some 150 years ago? Yeah, that's certainly comparable...
In any case, this topic is about Texas, which may or may not get an unfair bad rep. To be completely honest, I don't have a very high opinion of your country, save for the bigger cities, or just New York. The rest is pretty much hick-ville...:-/
