Letter to the DENTON RECORD CHRONICLE from Dwight Crawford Sr.
of Sanger, Texas:
TERRORISM-WHAT IS THAT?
I get a big laugh at the dialogue of Osama bin Laden, the Taliban,
politicians, and the news media. They say
terrorists will hit us again in the oncoming weeks and months. What a
joke! You have a better chance of getting
killed on Interstate 35E than by a terrorist.
Osama has probably seen 100 degree plus summers in Afghanistan, but
he doesn't have fire ants to go with it. If he did he wouldn't be
sleeping on the ground in his cave.
He talks of pain and suffering he is going to inflict on us. He
doesn't know what pain is until he gets kicked by a green broke,
two year old colt in a freezing rain.
Germ warfare? Texas ticks will give you Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
and Lime disease, blister beetles kill your horse, green bugs
destroy a wheat crop, and termites eat your house. Anthrax has
killed Texas cattle for over 125 years. What's new? Our prairie
dogs carry the plague, armadillos carry leprosy, and our bats and
skunks carry rabies. We have rattlesnakes, copperheads, and water
moccasins.
Ho hum.
They talk of gas and biological warfare. They have never pulled in
behind a cattle truck while its raining, or ridden in the front seat
of a pick-up between two cowboys after they just eaten a big bowl
of Texas Red.
Texas ain't for sissies! We have posted signs all over the state that
say "Don't mess with Texas!" Osama, consider yourself warned!
