Texafornia dreaming

America’s future will be written in the two mega-states In the cable-news version of America, the president sits in the White House issuing commands that transform the nation. Life is not like that. In the real version of America many of the biggest political choices are made not in Washington but by the states—and by two of them in particular. Texas and California are the biggest, most important states in the union, each equally convinced that it is the future. However, their rules and regulations are basically opposite to each other.
