What makes people cling to the notion that artificial boundaries correllate with inherent superiority? What is it that makes me write incoherent sentences like the one above?

Folks who know me know I've wondered why Texans seem to think, by dint of geography, that they're superior. They also know that I've argued that Texas has produced more societal garbage than their populariont would warrant.

And now MickeyLex tells me of the T-shirts in Pasadena, prior to the Rose Bowl. "F--- y'all, I'm from Texas," they said. You may now "riff" in response to that.
