Funny part is, Texas and Alaska have about the same inhabitable space........about the size of Rhode Island.



ACK!

So Texan men brag about the size of their state, because they don't have something else that they have that they're much more modest about.

Nevada is clearly the best state. we have legal medical marijuana where I live.

Legal sports betting that won't rip you off (like those offshore sports betting rings). legalized prostitution. The best strip clubs in the world. The best shows in the world. The best music acts in the world (though they charge outrageous prices). We even have oxygen bars

Basically we have the best of everything. And no state income tax.

The only goog thing about the state is it gives us somewhere to put all the Texans.

Here is something interesting--

Third -- New States of convenient size not exceeding four in number, in addition to said State of Texas and having sufficient population, may, hereafter by the consent of said State, be formed out of the territory thereof, which shall be entitled to admission under the provisions of the Federal Constitution; and such states as may be formed out of the territory lying south of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes north latitude, commonly known as the Missouri Compromise Line, shall be admitted into the Union, with or without slavery, as the people of each State, asking admission shall desire; and in such State or States as shall be formed out of said territory, north of said Missouri Compromise Line, slavery, or involuntary servitude (except for crime) shall be prohibited.
