-Caveat Lector- Here is a little statistic for some of you folks to keep in mind the next time you equate loving Dixie with a hate crime. You know who you are! Think about this when you decry the undue influence all things Southern are having on this country and the dreadful consequences. READ IT AND WEEP and then kiss my grits! For while I have been aware that we are growing at an alarming rate, I did not realize that THE SOUTH has the MAJORITY of any of the four regions in population by a landslide. If you don't like it, guess you will just have to find a new country now. Ha, ha! Teach you to "reinstate' us at gunpoint with your fixed bayonets. So, based on my newly discovered information, I shall heretofore INSIST that the South has every bit as much right to have a voice in the cultural and political climate of this country, nay~~more so, than any other.
