South lost the war in the near term but in the long term we have a vibrant South and a decaying North. People are voting with their feet.
An interesting observation. I live in the Hill Country of Texas and the number of people moving into this area seem to be predominantly from the North, in general, and from the North East specifically. Now, don;t ask where I got that from, my thought springs from what I see every Sunday at my church. I know, it's not scientific but it is what I see.
We always said the South would rise again........*~*.
