Jerry:

I don't think that even you, the consummate man to turn a word and a phrase, would stand a snowball's chance in Hell (sorry for the religious reference - I'll do penance later by plumbing one of my left-leaning felines) of making heads or tails of the laws in the State of Texas regarding HIs - or anything else.

We have a truly peerless academic/political system here that breeds simultaneously the largest number of crooked attorneys/politicians anywhere. Combined with one of the lowest rates of successfully graduated students from the public schools - which of course breeds sheep (or maybe I should say sheep/ovejas) this makes for a very dangerous milieu.

The supremely criminal and pathological writing the laws governing the infinitely ignorant and gullible. What a place! We've sent you our brightest star - George W. Bush. You can all thank us later . . .

Or maybe not.
