'Don't Mess with Texas' - why bother??

It's official; Texas is the stupidest state in the union. Police in Texas are arresting people for public drunkenness while drunk in a bar! Aren't bars privately owned, and therefore private property? Sitting outside the bar and arresting people as they leave would be bad enough but this ridiculous. I am completely embarrassed for the residents of Texas who have enough sense to understand how foolish this is.

It was reported, "Undercover agents in Texas are arresting people inside bars who seem to be drunk in a new controversial police tactic.
Texas Alcohol and Beverage Commission agents said they are going undercover in bars around Texas and taking intoxicated people into custody. The first sting operation was conducted in a Dallas suburb, where agents arrested 30 people for public intoxication in bars, according to a Reuters report. Officials hope the crackdown will keep people from leaving bars and driving drunk or committing a crime. 'Being in a bar does not exempt people from the state laws against public drunkenness', an official said in a report."

Well now the rest of the world understands that maybe we are just a bunch of immature idiots, and our Texan leader is just another clown minding the circus. And yes, this is one more reason why we educated, elitist, liberals living here on the coast look down on you central dwelling fools.

"Don't mess with Texas" my ass. We don't need to - you're messed up enough without our help.

But then again, if this is a good idea to you maybe then you should be kept from drinking. Maybe they should just declare Texas a 'dry' state and be done with it.
