I just moved to Dallas, Texas from Portland, Oregon and I have noticed a trait among most texans, they are VERY proud to be from Texas and for the life of me I can not understand it.Texas is a so-so place to live (I'm sure there are worse) but it's nothing special and I haven't even been here in the summer yet in which I heard it gets incredibly hot. I've lived in Colorado, Califorina, and Oregon and I think all these places are better to live in then Texas but the people there dont have nearly the pride that they do here. So my question is why do texans have so much pride in being from Texas?
