That's what I love about Texas. You guys just look at a big, flat patch of land that no one gives two hoots about. And then you take a bulldozer to it and convert it into something useful...like a race track.
Out here in Kalifornia, our tree huggers look at a big, flat patch of land that no one gives two hoots about. And then they do everything in their power to make it protected lands because some flowering weed or other "native landscape" that grows there, or some jack rabbit that was practically hunted into extinction during the 1800's by the original settlers, just might go extinct if a couple hundred acres were to suddenly go away. Forget about the improved tax base, forget about the jobs created, forget about the local commerce that would spring up from such a project. Motorheads be damned and save the @#$%& bunnies!
Whew...I feel better now!
