Nowhere have I found people to be as kind and helpful as in Oklahoma. Yeah, lots of right wing nut cases and rude idiots too, but the good ones are plentiful and exceptional.

Judge me all you want, you'd at least be half right.
I'm a Texan through and through, love the culture,
the bbq, the history, the legends, all of it.

But I'm also a radical leftie, that's from my mother's
California side of the family, the Irish Catholic roots.
