Ditto and AMEN to everything Bobj said.
For the record I was not disagreeing with ANYONE -
And I didn't take anyone to be disagreeing with me.
To be honest -- I was more than anything else - poking fun at MYSELF and some of my fellow Southerners. That's what I get for trying to be humorous before coffee
Yes - I am proud of my unique heritage -- as I hope everyone else is of theirs - It's those differences blending and working together (like the rock and the sand and the water and the cement in the concrete pads I am pouring today) that make this such a unique and wonderful country.
We let them divide us at our peril.
God bless the USA!!!!
