Bill Whittle spent Thanksgiving in Texas. And it made an impression on him.

Why? Because in Texas it’s a free country.

That’s not so much the case in Whittle’s home of California, where there’s:

“No fires, no parking, all animals must be on a leash, no photography, camping not permitted, no lifeguard on duty, penalties will apply, permit required. Gun free zone, noise ordinance enforced. Fly quietly, minimum altitude 1000 feet. No ATV’s, personal watercraft prohibited, wake limit strictly enforced, plastic bags no longer available, tow-away zone. Fishing permit required, environmentally sensitive area, no dogs allowed, se habla espanol.”

Whittle explains how places like California are ruining any sense of liberty, and are also taking away the fun of living there. Unlike Texas.
