Oregon was listed in the stats I posted. Did you miss the abbreviation OR? It stood for Oregon. Evidently, WA didn't have enough population growth in the 2020 Census to get additional electoral seats Meaning WA population growth isn't significantly different enough from the overall population growth. The percentage of Hispanics in CA and Texas is almost identical, so not sure what you mean by "white flight" out of CA? Def. of Liar - "A Person Who Tells Lies" / "I lied. Deal with it" - ams288 |

I don't know what the first thing is. I'm not as much against horse racing as I am greyhound racing, but probably slightly against. I'm no PETA member, but I don't think that animals should exist for our entertainment, besides being well-treated pets. I've heard that the horses are mostly treated well, but haven't really looked into it. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

- Texas politics is complicated like everywhere else, but there is much stupidity and hypocrisy involved (like politics everywhere). - Dog tracks are confined to the gulf coast region and I have never given them much thought. If the animals are mistreated, I share your disdain. - "Texas and Culture..." Depends what you mean by culture. From your complaints above I take it that you mean that Texas is lacking in spacious halls full of hollow eyed losers bleeding their government checks into chiming machines. We go to Oklahoma and Louisiana for that. - The Republic of Texas era is an over romanticized point of pride here. The military victory over Mexico was remarkable, amazing even. However the nation that followed was a disaster. Most Texans would have gladly joined the US immediately in 1836, but it could not happen until 1845 when Texas could be added as a state without upsetting the ratio of slave to free states. In the meantime the Republic of Texas was in a prolonged depression with a worthless currency and accumulating debt that was still being paid off into the 20th century. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

The census numbers are an indication of where people move, not why they move. You look at where people are moving from and where they are moving to in an effort to understand why they are moving. They're leaving Michigan and have been for decades. Why do you think that is? Def. of Liar - "A Person Who Tells Lies" / "I lied. Deal with it" - ams288 |

people seem to assume that everyone loves where they live. i think most people are just indifferent. Isn't there a statistic that something like 60 percent of people never move further than 50 miles from where they grew up those are the people that i feel sorry for. they never got to explore living in different areas or cultures.

Taiwan Taiwan Taiwan Tulsa Tulsa Tulsa Weather Weather Weather WTF, is it say it three times and its true Ed? You did bring up the DRich testimony, that was convincing. Do you think no state income taxes as a result of efficient governance could be a draw to FL? You're probably right, its the humidity & bugs, I mean the weather. After all, you did say it three times and click your heels. It must be true. Astonishing is the intellect with this one. Def. of Liar - "A Person Who Tells Lies" / "I lied. Deal with it" - ams288 |

The older people aren't bothered as much by the heat. They be like lizards, seeking warmth. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
