Texas does not have the ability to be evil. Texas is an inanimate

object.

Actually, it is not really an object except in the abstract sense.

It is a
another of the set of boundaries that partition the world. It is a

place.
I don't know that a place is an object. It's more like an idea or a

dream
(in the sense of a goal, not in the sleeping-dreaming sense)

In a race, you can get 1st place. That is not an object. It is an
abstraction, a description. Texas is like 1st place (I think it is

your
largest state, or maybe it's Alaska, in which case Texas would be

like 2nd
place). Oh okay, I'll shut up now.


Ah, another Cliff Claven!! Brother!!
