Well, I reckon a bunch of us can go home, now.

Waynesboro, Va., resident Reo Hatfield came up with the idea and said he wanted to show that if the two families can come together, anyone could. He had said he wanted to send a broader message to the world that when national security is at risk, Americans put their differences aside and stand united.

Hey my hometown!, cool! I could tell some stories about this guy ,,,sheesh, our own local slick willy. hehe.

The more than a century of feuding between the McCoys of Kentucky and Hatfields of West Virginia is believed to have its origins in a dispute over a pig.

Kind of like the feud between Christopher Hitchens and Sidney Blumenthal.

They did this before, symbolically burying a hatchet (saw it on the History Channel).

I guess a periodic kiss n' make up is good for the tourist trade.

They may be from the hills, but they ain't dumb.

I hope one of them 'buries the hatchet' and starts the feud again.

C'mon, I need entertainment.

"We're not saying you don't have to fight because sometimes you do have to fight," he said. "But you don't have to fight forever."

Surprised there hasn't been a thread started on the H & C mini-series on History Channel.

Not exactly a historian of the event and it's accuract, but I think the makers have done a fine job recreating late 19th century life. My genealogy research of transcribing old text shows that they also did a nice job of doing around the dialect of the time.

In any case, I have been enjoying the heck out of it.
