What a sad answer
I never claimed that Texans walking around with your 500 pound chip on their shoulders was the right way to do things. I merely stated that it's a fact of life.
Yes, Texans do walk around with a chip on their shoulders, believing that they're better than other people due to the luck of the draw for their birth location. They have no valid reason(s) for this belief. What is it that you claim to be "a fact of life": that they walk around with a chip on their shoulder or the reason that they put the chip on their shoulder in the first place?
Having visited Boulder, and having once lived in Austin for 4 years (which I no longer do), I find Boulder more visually appealing. I BELIEVE that the people of Boulder would be better to live among.
At least when I state my opinion, I label it as such.
