Since Traveler decided to pull me into his "stately" campaign with Speakeasy I decided to post up some reasons why VA is better than TX. Speakeasy already posted some, but the 'fight' kinda hijacked another thread, so I thought I'd start one of my own

I didn't bring you into it per se, what is between me and him and is between me and him.

I just figured the reason you kept on going on about blood, veins, butchering animals etc was the Virginian in you.
