Texas is a state that receives a considerable amount of attention It is the second most populous state, has an international border, a diverse economy, and has produced three presidents (Lyndon Johnson, George HW Bush, and George W. Bush) and in 2012 our most recent former governor attempted to become the fourth. Texas is a state that receives political, economic, and yes, even athletic attention. Texas is also a state that is known for its bravado or ego. Many people view the state positively, and many view the state negatively.Provide a link to a news story or reputable opinion piece, (not a blog, wiki, or amateur journalist) that shows how Texas is viewed nationally. That is to say, talk about a story that shows how the United States or segments of the country views Texas. Are we viewed positively, negatively, mocked, admired, indifferent, etc.? Do you think the views of the article are justified and do you think the Texas ego is justified? Why or why not? Justify your opinion. Must be at least 300 words.
