Brock, I have looked at this post several times. I have given it a good deal of thought. I have spent 10-12 years in the south so I know the flavor of this soup so to speak. I have never lived any where in the NE USA. I have spent most of my adult life in the West, but not Califonication. I don't consider myself ANYTHING except AMERICAN. One thing that I can absolutely say is that there are good folks all over these UNITED STATES, up North, on the East coast in the South, out West, and slap dab in the middle too. I don't give a rat's furry Azz if they are black, brown, Yellow, White polka dotted with lil green stripes. I give em all at least three strikes to prove me wrong. I also know that there are some real Schitt Heels in every part of this country. We ALL know what I'M saying, here. Some folks, for some reason, will simply be worthless their whole damn life. Color, race, creed be damned, some folks are just plain trouble. Environment, or heredity, who knows. I personally didn't have the Square Root of SQUAT to do with the First American Civil War, and I am not looking forward to the Second one neither. But, when the SHTF and we are neck and neck with these Damn Commies fighting for our Families, Our Homes and Our Nation, I will not give a cup of that furry Rat's Spit if they are Southern, Northern or wherever (Except them Fellers in the Blue Helmets), as long as I know they have my back, I will have theirs, Sir. And I believe that you would too. Therefore, it is my conclusion that you throw these articles into the mix just to see what bites. You Sir, are fishing. And now you know what lurks beneath. {:<) Have a GREAT DAY my friend, I wish you well as a FELLOW AMERICAN...
ReplyDeleteToday it is mainly country v city, but it wasn't in '61. My father's side has been here 300 years and my Mother's 350.
DeleteDaanng Brock. That counts for both Heredity and Environment. All I know about my folks was that they lived in and around San Antonio, TX. My Grandpa cut cedar posts for fencing, they were living in a tent and were dirt poor during the depression. My dad and his older siblings would pay tag at the Alamo. My Dad said that he could escape his older brothers by slipping through the wood bars in the windows, and run along the ledges. My cousins are still there. They inherited my uncle's machine shop, and now build racecars. I haven't seen nor heard from them in years.
DeleteThat's terrible about your cousins. Have you tried to contact them?
