No point in arguing about Slick Rick or his proposal to force every Texas schoolgirl to have an injection not yet proven either safe or effective–a touchdown for BIG PHARMA just stopped short of the goal line.

Do check, however, the ranking of Texas is education level, education spending, infant mortality, percentage of uninsured–all those embarrassing things states are rated on, for most of which we share the bottom three US positions with Mississippi and one of the other truly enlightened states of the South (R). The information is readily enough available, if one can stomach reading it.

If somebody runs across it, I’d also like to know better why the rate for Texas homeowner insurance, health insur-
ance and automobile insurance is so much higher than that of, say California, the Disaster State. We pay $1,000 for CA’s $700+ for home policies, even though we have few mudslides, earthquakes, forest fires, and other natural disasters. Maybe that and the nice “bidness climate” are related? Or could it be that only two (2) companies have over 75% of the territory nailed down tight? Both?

Brian, you are right. Apologies. I responded to the comment but not the article. Thanks for getting back on track….

@Karen; @Cori: Way to go immediately off topic.

Congrats to Grifols and thanks to all those that were involved in helping to bring them here to San Marcos. This really is a boon to our town, and I’m excited to see how fast Carlson Circle is filling out with new projects.

The way the Texas economy has been grown has cost us plenty! Texans should be ashamed that our state is a leader in industrial pollution of air and water, with environmental laws from the past and current administration that are a joke.

I’ll happily pay extra taxes if it means that my child can breathe clean air and not worry about toxins in the water and food chain!

Lefty – righty — whatever…just read the science and use a little common sense and you’ll see that the current policies do not do us any favors!

Texas is the envy of America, and we should be thanking our lucky stars that we have a governor who understands how to grow an economy with low taxes, slow government spending, and lawsuit reform, even though we have this lefty President who doesn’t understand any of it at all.

Go Rick Perry! Help lead the charge against Barack Obama.
