Well I'm from Louisiana and have never had anything against Texans personally.  I have developed a distaste for the utter size of Texas.  I've often been told I'd be a good candidate for president when people hear my politics but I know I'm not the man for the job because if I were ever president I'd divide Texas diagonally into East Texas and West Texas. I'd also combine the Dakotas to maintain the even number of 50 for the states. I find the map does show the ego that most Texans I've met have.  They do see themselves as the "Big Deal" of America sort of in the same way that America sees itself as the "Big Deal" of the world.
