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.

Being southern is a mindset, and not necessarily about where you're from. In fact, I've noted that around here, some of the best southerners are japanese and korean immigrants. I think some of cultural values are already close enough that they make the transition fairly quickly.
