As a fourth generation Texan whose family history reads like a chronicle of the country's westward migration, whose cowboy boots are scuffed by stirrups rather than dance floors, but for whom the phrase "all hat no cattle" is entirely accurate (having worn out and discarded several Stetsons, still owning four), I just want to say
