How con...Texas, my (sometimes) great native state! How confusing you are. We run a prison system located somewhere within the Rings of Hell. We seem to worship guns. We have the highest exoneration rate, lowest social services, near lowest education system, a government of business, by business, and for business and to hell with all those "victims", worship the death penalty. We allow DA's to rail road the innocent, the governor to accept huge sums for support and then dole them to friends and allies. We generally hate gay people and had to have the US Supreme Court order us to end our "sodomy" law. And to hell with those pesky poor people, illegals, and all non-neocons. Yet we have the highest compensation for wrongful convictions, have or are revamping important forensic science standards, had the most progressive bankruptcy laws, etc. Now state senators claim to be concerned with individual privacy. What next? Real concern for educating our kids? Real concern for the huge poverty that exists within our supposedly great, business-friendly economy? Any plans to actually support the local control the neocons claim as bedrock belief and quit targeting Austin because we choose to make our city better? OMG!Phillip Bakernoreply@blogger.com
