To quote a man I respect: "There you go again..."
Ya'll didn't want Tennessee either when we first tried to become a state . . . I remember it like it was yesterday . . . .
"Yep, if we let Tennessee become a part of the United States, we'll soon all be living up in the holler with Lil Abner, makin' moonshine and courtin' Daisy May . . . ", ya'll fretted aloud.
Now, look at us in Tennessee . . living up in the holler, Lil Abner is our governor, making moonshine is legal in Lynchburg, Tennessee, and Daisy May from Arkansas (another state ya'll spurned) is the Senator from New York . . . (Ya'll should have stuck by your guns on Arkansas . . ")
