LOL, no Southerner cares what any Yank thinks or says, even on FReep. But arrogant Northerners, and other non-Southerners think that they do. Blab away, for all the good it will do you. The smartest thing a Yank can do is keep his mouth shut. You'll impress more people with that than demonstrating your ignorance, believe me.....

Just gotta tell my favorite Alabama story here. It fits, so stick with me for a bit. We have two different colors of shop jackets they make us wear at work, mostly blue. The other color, grey, is very rare and hardly ever seen. One day a young guy from Alabama came into my lab in the midst of a tour group. The young guy was of course wearing a grey jacket. I asked him about why he didn't seem to fit in with the color code of the day and he replied in a great Alabama drawl, "You know where I'm from?!? I cain't wear no blue jacket!!!"
Thanks. I love that guy!

I was working with a lady from New Jersey. Somehow, the subject of the Civil War came up. I referred to it as the War of Northern Aggression. She was flabbergasted that it was a topic that still had an impact.
