Please don't use the word "liberal" in a derogatory manner, thank you.

While you are at it, could you not use "Tax-raising, eco-worshipping, Freedom-hating Socialist " in a derogatory manner either?

People have given both terms a bad rep.

Actually, he said liberal by itself but did add retarded to the front of it. If you ask me, those terms are synonymous.

No, this is what is retarded, people who don't understand the definition of scientific theory making decisions about how science is taught (or not, as the case may be): http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6334924.html

I was born and raised in Texas, and I'm glad to see that the legislature is doing something to stimulate the entertainment industry, which has been waning in some parts (e.g., Dallas) in recent years. However, don't be surprised if the focus on tv and film opportunities, not gaming, especially the film lobbies have probably pushed the hardest for this legislation.
