Red states = Blue state people bitching all about how things suck

Blue states = Red state people bitching all about how things suck but unarmed.

The most vocal in each case is that group out of favor. More than a few people ( away from the office in Cincinnati ) would comment about how that city is a "Republican" city.

To which I would reply with something like...( more diplomatically of course ) "Is that so? Well you need to get your ass over to a blue state. Oh that's right, they arent doing much hiring right now.

I thought that I would like this place more than I do. It's expensive and there is some type of road confuction everywhere. About a quarter of the people that I run into only speak Spanish and it's not even summer yet and it's MFin' HOT.

On the upside though, the law enforcement and people in general let you about your business and dont get overly intrusive or "try to help you". There is a lot more self reliance here. Dont try to offer some assistance or even suggest that some one might benefit, but of course not NEED some help from you.

Havent seen one single rebel flag nor a single gun in a truck gunrack yet but I'm still looking.

I've yet to run into a "stereotypical" Texan I rekon.
