Of My Travels In Texas
(of
Rednecks and wonderful people!!!)
Somewhere in amongst this time, I met the neighbours, 2 doors down from
Barb and Clyde. They were unashamedly "rednecks"! Whilst I do not agree
with many of their views, I respect their rights to them and, I must say,
many of their attitudes were and ARE very similar to my own! I am a little
right wing in my outlook, but these people were so right wing that they
were 3 paddocks away! As a matter of fact, I think their outlook is about
a thousand miles to the right of mine! Hahahahahaha!
Some of their views (that I will elucidate upon here) are
-
They see Texas as their country!!!
-
The United States are
minor provinces of Texas
-
Texas economically
supports the rest of USA.
-
The end of the world
will happen in about 10 minutes
-
We must build fallout
shelters and store food, water arms and ammunition for..... I am buggered
if I know what!
-
Australia is a Southern
annexure of Texas
-
Aussies are Texans,
living in the Southern Hemisphere.
-
The South will rise
again!
I hastened to inform them that
-
We have single properties
(ranches) in Australia that are bigger than Texas.
-
Aussies are just as
hospitable as Texans though we enjoy their more "laid back" style.....
almost as laid back as an Aussie
-
Texas is, in fact,
a Northern Territory of Australia due to the fact that we are the real South!
-
American beer tastes
like dishwater
-
Doctor Pepper tastes
like sweet dishwater
As you can see, we got on like a house on fire. They really were wonderful
people and were, in the end, quite happy to agree to disagree! Now that is a quality I admire in anyone!
I have to say that whatever the views are of Texans in the main,
I must say that their hospitality is every bit as good as people from the bush in Australia!!!!!!!!!!
