Dude if you want to drink shine that is fine, no reason to be "F"in up the joint. What southerners have some pecking order obligation to each other based on their proximity to the equator? Go figure?
So, all the whiners, fill me in.

You insinuated that Tornado had no right to dis you because you reside in the "deep south", the reader could only surmize that this was because you are further south than he or the slight would have been accepted based on your geographical sensibility.
I merely pointed out the folly of this colloquial absurdity.

I know I am, but I am actually getting out today. Headed to State College with JB for a little fun. Hitting up the Eastern Sports Show in order to help my social skills for the vast majority of VA folk. Hoping to meet up with Joe Humphries too for a little fishing on Penns Creek.

I'm with you here. I finished moving everything in June '08. The 'experts' are always saying to leave it alone, but it's going to take a long time (if ever) for anyone who rode that wave down to recoup their losses. At this point, slow and steady positive growth works for me.

Then answer this: why did investigations into financial fraud by the SEC fall by 86% between 2000 and 2007, and prosecutions by the DoJ drop by 84% over the same period? Saying and doing are two different things....

nashville is 3 hrs. from where i live. if the south is so bad why dont you stay where you belong with the asshole yanks. hope you have a good time. the south is where its at, beautiful women, beautiful beaches, beautiful forests, the south is wonderful- why else would all the snow birds fly south for the winter? i'll take all the political debate you can dish, but dont insult the deep south when you dont know any better.
I am a southerner for many generations and you are saying that I have some geographical responsibility not to say bad shit about the Alabama "AKA the Deep South" just because our states banded together from 1861-1865 in order to continue the institution of slavery and with the losing belief in the superiority of states rights over that of the US government.
Or is it because y'all elected Wallace that I should show deference towards the "Deep South".
That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

I write letters... Lots of them. Ill be in California next week and I plan on stopping by the reps office. Im pretty sure all my letters have fallen before blind eyes, however. Another falacy of our political system. I still firmly believe that all elected officials should be removed and replaced (with their respective political party members) and have term limits in place. The older I get the more I cant stand politicians.
Jesus another product of our politically correct education system. The civil war was not about slavery. It was about states rights.
Slavery in the United States was on it's way out anyway. The industrial revolution was providing machines that were more efficient than slaves. Yankees piss me off, it's like they think there were NEVER any slaves in the north and the whole friggin war was a big crusade to free the exploited colored folks in the south. BULLSHIT!
These same Yankee's did worse to the Indians than the south ever did to slaves. Bout a nickels worth of difference between manifest destiny and ethnic cleansing. I guess it just matters which side you are on because if you win it's your version history remembers.
Ask an American Indian if he thinks the slaves got screwed.

Calling both of my Senators and my Congressman on a pretty regular basis to express my disgust with the pork barrel that they call the stimulus.
Donating to Jim Tedisco's campaign to replace the Congressional seat vacated by Kirsten Gillibrand's appointment to the Senate.

Writing my Congressman and Senator's. FWIW my congressman, a democrat, Heath Shuler voted NO for the spendulis bill:applause: I am very proud of him. In response to his not going along with his party all that Harry Reid could come up with was insults about his football career in the pro's. Real classy Harry.

Neil C,
You evidently didn't read this part " with the losing belief in the superiority of states rights over that of the US government."
You cannot seperate the issue of slavery from the civil war. The emancipation proclamation was issued during the war. It was used as a tool to take away the engine of commerce in the south.
To say that it was only about slavery is incorrect, but to deny the importance of slavery as a core issue is incorrect as well.
It was a war over economic and governance philosophies and slavery was at the heart of the southern economy. Completely intertwined and germain to the discussion.
