4) A habit of reading Southron postings and laughing out loud at the petty delusions therein.
The Civil War is over and the South is not going to rise again. Flame away.
Did he say 'flame away?'
Bad choice of words.

As is customary across the South, Gov. Haley Barbour has declared April as "confederate Heritage Month" in Mississippi. In keeping with this important, public recognition of our valiant Confederate ancestors, the Margaret Reed Crosby Memorial Library, the Friends of the Library, and the Gainesville Volunteer (Sons of Confederate Veterans) are featuring a Confederate "Heritage of Honor" display in the library's foyer through April 12, 2004.
The public is cordially invited to view the display during regular library hours. In declaring April as Confederate Heritage Month, Gov. Barbour said: "Whereas April is the month in which the Confederate States began and ended a four-year struggle; and, whereas, it is important for all Americans to reflect upon our nation's past, to gain insight from our mistakes and successes, and to come to a full understanding that the lessons learned yesterday and today will carry us through tomorrow if we carefully and earnestly strive to understand and appreciate our heritage and our opportunities which lie before us; now, therefore, I, Haley Barbour, Governor of the State of Mississippi, hereby proclaim the month of April as Confederate Heritage Month in the State of Mississippi."
The Crosby Memorial Library display features some dozen unusual, full-size Confederate battleflags, military uniforms, weapons, antique quilts, portraits of Magnolia State Confederates, various Confederate artifacts, and numerous books, magazines, and newsletters detailing the valor of Mississippi's arms during that heroic struggle for Southern freedom. Importantly, the Crosby Memorial Library's Confederate Heritage display is both the largest and longest-running such display in Mississippi and, possibly, the South.
This display has garnered the Margaret Reed Crosby Memorial Library the prestigious "John L. Harris Heritage Preservation Award" from the Mississippi Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans. This award is named for a Black Confederate servant who, in later years as a Mississippi Representative, was instrumental in the construction of the impressive Monument to the Confederate Dead that stands on the grounds of the Old Capitol in Jackson.
Don't mis this rich, colorful, and enlightening display, produced by the Gainesville Volunteers, SCV (MS Division Camp of the Year for four of the last seven years). For more information about our Confederate "Heritage of Honor," please visit www.mississippiscv.org or email huffman@ametro.net.

also. thought you might like to know that "indications" that one IS a damnyankee (these are wellknown to every true southerner over the age of 5!):
1.a belief that the WBTS was a crusade against slavery, rather than a war of conquest
2. a hatred of our sacred battleflag,our HERO-MARTYRS, our memorials,our monuments, our cemeteries,our shared mores & customs,etc.,etc.,etc.
3.AND a belief that EVERYTHING & EVERYONE in the southland is inferior to similar institutions & people in the north
like i said damnyankee is a LEARNED, rather than inborn,prejudice.

Bad choice of words.

the way i THINK freedom will come is:
Le Republique Quebecois will secede from Canada.
then Los Estados Unidos de Azatlan will leave the union.
then the new (and much improved) Southron Republic will quietly & hopefully peacefully will leave the union, allowing the remaining northern staes to be the sort of socialist/secularist/NANNY-state that most yankees seem to want.
EVERYBODY will be much happier!
