The word Y'all has become an important part of who I am, and more importantly, a statement of great Texas pride. Having lived in various parts of the country, I speak from personal experience, not just blind pride. Being Texan is not about where you live, it's a way of life, a tribute to friendliness, a camaraderie of people who remember that Texas is the greatest nation in the world. Bottom line - What makes Texas the best state in the Union? TEXANS make Texas the best state in the union!!! Don't mess with Texas OR Texans, a slogan we aim to enforce with force. YEE-HAW
