lots of seafood (with mercury poisoning from dumping)
probably 85% fewer abortions (umm yah)0
lower taxes, more business growth (nowhere to go but up when you're that low in terms of business)
Southwest Airlines (southwest is all over now)
real BBQ (i'm a vegetarian)
Fort Knox (its not like they REALLY store the gold there anymore)
real college football and tailgating (i hate sports)
Terapin Beer (huh?)
Jack Daniels (its in a dry county anyways)
Jeff Foxworthy (enough said)
Duke basketball (oh darn)
Grand Ole Opry (i'm from tennessee but please don't make me laugh)
Daytona 500 (we've still got indy)
GA Peaches (okay - i like those but we've got all the rest of the fruit, so i guess i'll live)

MEMO TO YOU: Wisconsin has cows. LOTS OF THEM. Cows make steak.

I always thought Wisconsin cows only make cheese. You mean they can make steak too? Your cows are talented.

Who needs 100% beef when the blue states are all a bunch of liberal, vegan, hippies?
I'll just enjoy my Napa Valley wine.

1. Cause where was bill clinton from?
2. Have you ever been to Texas? Seriously, our borders leak like a broken pipe. I'd bet half of south texas is here illegally.
I'm proud to be from the south, but some of those were incorrect.

American cars....which suck.
Steel...the industry is going to be gone soon anyway.
Cheese...lol. maybe velveta and american, but I'd take some good french brie over that anyday.
Wine...most people don't know the difference between good wine and bad anyway. We do get whiskey though-and that makes the rest all worth it.
Great Lakes...full of mercury.
The trade offs are definitly worth it.

I'll assume your post wasn't directed at me, but just in case.... I'm from Texas, and we have our own steak.

You may have Motown, but we have (in addition to the Grand Ol Opry) - Graceland, Sun Studio, Stax, Beale Street...
ETA: Rock n roll, blues, jazz, bluegrass, country, and rap... lemme know if I'm forgetting any

Yeah, but all the major recording labels are based in NYC or LA...

Exactly. And NYC and LA doesn't want anything to do with Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio or whatever state.
Typical. Those states trying to hang with Cali and NY is just like the token fat girl in the hot sorority. She is annoying and keeps saying how " we we we are so hot hot hot" but in reality everyone laughs at her because she was given a bid because the cool kids felt sorry for her.
HAHAHAHA!
The truth hurts MO FO!

This email is about a year old.
After the election last year, I wrote that it felt like there were two countries, the United Blue States of America and the United Red States of America. I think that there are only a few states or regions that would make independent, successful countries on their own which I was going to list, but I decided against it.
It's probably better if we all just get along.

I agree! There are great things everywhere! Sometimes people get too sensitive over something that is just a joke. People can talk all the shit they want to about Texas, I will still love it here!!! 
My bottom line... I think we are all very lucky to live here.

I find nothing particularly wrong with Texas, but I do have the impression that the folks that are most vocal about it being the best place to live haven't lived anywhere else.
I could be wrong.
Some day they're going to divide Alaska in half and make Texas the third largest state.

I've lived in every one of those state, except Minnesota. Each has a fair amount going for it.
I've also spent a whole lot of time in NYC and LA and they're great places -- but have a lot of real bad points, too.
Kind of like Texas. (Sorry, I couldn't help myself)
