*I haven't been to Texas but I've seen a lot of films
about it and I've read a lot of books. The highest
level of civilization that I remember being indicated
is that you were supposed to warn a man verbally
before shooting him. Shooting someone straight in the
back was not considered gentlemanly, you were expected
to give him a second to react or something. Ah yes,
and shooting a woman was thought profane, there were
better things to do with women. So you are saying that
what I have got from films and books is not the real
Texas ? Why aren't there more moderate Texans to speak
out ?

O.K.
