I watched that last night on the news.  I meant to ask what the story is this morning, but forgot.  So what is the whole story (cause most news reports are way too brief to really explain)?

Proponents of Manifest Destiny understand that expansion is readily apparent, and inexorable, under the authority of God.

You don't want to go against God do you?

McKinney's done it, Frisco's done it, Allen and Plano were pissed cause they couldn't do it (landlocked). I think Anna is thinking they're the next ex-urb, especially with the new outer loop. It's just gonna happen. Heading north! Buy land in Howe now!

I did some checking. According to Collin County records BP Oil has purchased some land around 121 and county rd 509. Some of this land was sold to them in 03' by MS. SWALWELL who is one of the people complaining. I wonder if the City of Anna knows this?

I'd say it was a safe bet the City was well aware.

Drax, I've lived all over the country, and you can say the same thing about (insert state here). Or, (insert country here). I'm quite sure that there are those who say the same about we Texans. Geez, don't get me started about Utah!!!
