So I have been in Texas all of my adult life after college. I now live in a rural area outside of Austin and most of Texas, except for the urban and suburbs areas, are as you describe Amarillo in terms of enlightenment.

Texas has gotten almost unrecognizable over the last 30 years...worse and worse in terms of politics, climate, social advancement. I call it beer-joint mentality with a dose of religiosity.

You are very fortunate that your family moved to the Bay area.

As far as young men these days...I'm not sure the solution? I hope as the baton is passed to the next generation, they realize they can choose the kind of world they would like to live in and stop the blame game and unite for a better world while it is still an option. I fear if this continues much longer, our society will collapse and those choices will disappear.

Our generation took a lot for granted and now we watch in horror as we see it all disappearing before our eyes. I have much empathy for young people these days. ☮
