Apologies for sounding indelicate...But this sounds like it might be an evaluation of Texans, not of people in general.

No offense taken; you gave me a good laugh. Actually, though I gave the Dallas example, I'm also thinking particularly of people in Internet discussion sites like, say, slashdot. As I said in another comment, I like use Perl; because we are often such an exception to it.
You make a good point about simplification. Sometimes we need such simplification.

And, of course, some people just don't like to consider many issues at all...
