You are right in that assessment. I live in NW New Jersey (lots of woods, some farms, mountains, yet still suburban), and I dislike the city people coming out here and telling us how to run things. It is not really a North vrs South problem, but more of a city vrs country problem.

It is the city liberals who are out to grab our guns, pass dumb laws, ban fireworks, etc...

I have family who fought brother against brother during the civil war, one in the 12th Alabama, and one in the 10th New York, and they faced each others units in multiple engagements. I have to admit though, I am partial to me Yankee side.

I've lived in both the north and the south. Northerners have some strange ideas about the War Between the States. Many really do think it was all about slavery. They really think southerners are racist and northerners are above that sort of thing.

Life in the south is so much more civilized but every day more and more northerners move in with their vile 'hate bush' bumper stickers and their strange ideas about gun ownership. I wouldn't mind if northerners were banned, as long as I could sneak in.

Another interesting note: here down South, we have a lot of yellow dog democrats in the larger cities. It does have a great deal to do with city vs rural. Another event that painted that picture starkly was Hurrican Katrina. The city folk in New Orleans moaned and raised hell about it being Bush's fault. However, the real Cajuns in New Orleans were back to normal pretty quick. The folks in Mississippi also didn't complain, they just started to work fixing everything.

That said, the South does have an inherit genteel culture that I really like. But then again, I'm partial to my southernness.
