I don't think most Ruby programmers use it, much less most
experienced Ruby programmers. I don't use it (and I don't consider
myself all *that* experienced with Ruby; just opinionated). I
haven't found a single place that I've needed it.

Funny thing, your unemployment rate is a little below average, but your
poverty rate is third worst in the nation, could be because your median
household income is significantly lower than most liberal states. Your
schools suck. Texas ranks pretty low on the NAEP, especially in
science, but for some reason you seem to find it necessary to have more
education administrators than most other states. Nearly 25% of your
population has no health insurance. Also about 25% of your children are
in poverty. You have more violent crime than most of the nation and are
near the top in property crime.

And, whatever happened to your deficit? Last I heard, you had a pretty
serious deficit in your current year budget.

We have quite a few Texas ex-pats living on the island and they seem to
be pretty happy to have put that hell-hole in their rear-view mirror!
Seems like most of your state was on fire last summer!

They have a drought that is unbelievable for the last couple of years.
Everything is so bone dry that even the rattlesnakes are coming around
the peoples yards in hopes of getting a sip of water from a swimming
pool.

What's more, that fool Perry was bragging about all the jobs he
created. Well it turns out that he simply hired hundreds of new
government employees. So much for job creation and small
government!!!!

You have tooted your own horn about being smart
several times. I have worked around some very
very smart people. Smart people by nature are
quiet and modest. It is their work that makes
them that way.
It is other people that see them as smart.

How is "intelligence" determined in that _study_?? What an odd thing to
attempt.

It starts with being on the ball enough to look it up for yourself.

It's not about "being smart." Rather, it's about sub average
intelligence in bigots.

There are some absolutely brilliant people living in Texas. Cuss
isn't one of them. He's one of those old guard GOP crazies.
