We all know "anything goes in Texas", so I'm not sure I would like to see the weaves depicted in the last few photos included in the thread mentioned above. Then again, the first photo I saw look "pretty as a picture". Surely that wasn't intended to be an example of a Texas Weave! :)
Speaking of Texas, I heard a radio show on NPR on Saturday (I think) that was talking about a new house built in Texas that was crumbling. In the course of several years, the home owners won their case in several lower courts only to have the judgement overturned on appeal when it got to the Texas Supreme Court. It seems that the builder, the largest in the State of Texas, contributed several million dollars to the Supreme Court judges election committees and was a major contributor to the "Fast Boat Committee". The builder was even successful in getting a new law passed in the Texas legislature that would just about make it impossible for a home owner bring a suit against the builder should a problem arise. As they say, "You can buy anything in Texas, if you have enough money."
Its good to know that other states have the same problems we have in New England and we aren't alone when it comes to corruption and government officials. However, Connecticut seems to have as many city mayors serving time in Federal Prison as serving in the City Halls.
Pardon me for hijacking the thread! ;)
