Although a certified Yankee, I have developed a deep respect for the courage, traditions, and values of the South. Sometimes the reverence for the past can go too far and constrain their vision of the future, but today’s Southerner is an enlightened citizen who takes the best from tradition and molds the future around it, all the while rejecting those notions that have long outlived their usefulness or that clash with an abiding love of life and humanity.
IJ - that’s a great way to put it. Thanks for the comment.
Well said.
I was born and raised in Norteastern Ohio, but I sure wish I could apply for honorary southronorship.
