I could rant indefinitely about divisions not helping our country to be a better place, or that I am weary of defending myself from all sorts of assumptions based on my place of birth, or that Texans are more diverse than they get credit for and very few are oil millionaires, but mostly hard working regular folk, but my burning question is this: Why does Wyoming not get any negative attention for its contribution of the more sinister (and arguably the more powerful) half of the executive branch?
