And you missed the words "along that car drive" as well, even after I pointed them out specifically! Obviously he did *not* start from that premise, or he wouldn't have used the phrase "along that car drive." Moreover, you and Barry are the ones who would like to claim there were such restaurants; it's up to you to document the claim, not Sparaig. > It's a stereotype that you have also obviously bought into as well. Oh? Please quote where I ever said anything that suggested I bought into that (nonexistent) stereotype. The real "stereotype" is the notion you and Barry are trying to push, that because there were such restaurants in the South (which nobody ever denied), therefore there must have been such restaurants along that *particular* highway between those two *particular* points. Please bear in mind that what *I'm* doing is reporting what the *Gores*--and their nanny--said about the drive *they* made. I've made no assertions about restaurants in the South generally, nor even along that particular stretch. It does seem to me *logical* that they were telling the truth; if they weren't, the right-wingers promoting the slander that Gore Sr. was a racist segregationist would have leaped on the falsehood to show the Gores were not only racists but liars (along with their nanny). Neither you nor Barry has come up with any counter to that argument.
