<p>“else at 20 feet, the Lone Star flies at the same height - 20 feet. Do you know why? Because it is the only state that was a republic before it became a state. Texas was the only state to join the U.S. through treaty, not annexation.”</p>
<p>You’re wrong. Vermont was a republic before it became the 14th State in the Union. See wikipedia on History of Vermont.</p>
<p>Sorry I didn’t actually write that whole thing. Vermont was a republic before it became a state but it is true that we’re the only state who can fly our flag at the same height as the american flag.</p>
<p>Well anyways this is getting kind of off topic. In the article it was saying Texas is unique in that high school sports aren’t completely extracurricular. Are sports in other states not during the school day?</p>
<p>I feel like I should put in a good word for TX, at least one part of it. I spent six weeks in Austin this summer and it is an amazing and beautiful city. However I have heard that the rest of Texas is not like that. The Texas pride is certainly still present, even though Austin is considered an island in TX (a pat of butter in a sea of grits as my grandma would say). And the Texas Capitol building is amazing, though a lot of the buildings around it are constructed in a 1970s brutalist style and decorated with lone stars, which makes the whole place seem like part of soviet russia with the exception of the Capitol and the monuments. There’s also a giant 300 style pit with Texas at the bottom.</p>
<p>Why is everyone hating on Texas? Texas’ economy is not that bad. Our state debt per capita ranks 49th in the country (a good thing) with only 2%. Thats a hell of a lot better than Massachusetts with a 20% state debt.</p>
<p>Yesss! We’re amazing. people just don’t understand. I’m in new hampshire right now and I’m freezing my ass off. Its so cold. Its not supposed to be this cold until like december.</p>
