Omar:
Texas is in the Southwest United States where I live. I've been there, have
you? It's no difference than San Jacinto. I could move to Texas or a Texan
could move to San Jacinto and fit right in. Now if you want to argue that
neither Texas nor San Jacinto represents an example of a high-point of
civilization - say, with Clive Bell's Civilization in mind - I wouldn't
argue with you, but I believe Diana West is making a different point.
Though neither Texas nor San Jacinto measure up in Clive Bell's terms,
neither is barbarous in Diana West's terms.

Actually, Lawrence, this might the time to remind you
that Texas is not exactly Hegel's paradigm of a
civilized society.
O.K.
