The Texification of Colorado
Posted in Salt and Light
Colorado usually has a complicated relationship with Texas. As a (kinda) neighboring state, we love them. More to the point, we love their money during the seven months of ski season and the five months of camping season. On the other hand, we typically wish they would keep their big ol' state pride under their big ol' hats. Like I said, it's complicated. Still, I find myself wishing
these six "Texas" values put down by Doug Giles to take over the values held by the Denver Democrats and Aspen aristocrats.
Can't argue with ya there. I LOVE Texas, even though it's too hot most of the time. The people are friendly, the food is yummy, we're super patriotic, you meet more conservatives than liberals, and it's still a rather affordable place to live. And yes, we're usually a bit on the arrogant side when it comes to state pride! :-)
