Kansas is peopled by the descendents of those who set out on the Oregon trail but dropped out of the pack early.
LOL, that's a good one.... very quick....
it's also peopled by folks who just couldn't wait for the civil war shooting to start...hehe.
I love taking southern friends to the capitol to see the huge mural celebrating John Brown's victory at Harper's Ferry.
We are descended from simple farm folk who enjoyed gunplay while hating taxes and travel.
