I’m proud to have been born in Missouri (pronounced Missourah, where my people are from). It, and my current home state were admitted into the Union on the razor’s edge of American politics. We’ve a foot in both State’s rights and the Union, and are prone to march to our own drum beat.
Today, and the first Tuesday this coming November will evidence this trait.
I love Missouri and the people of that State. Just made my 5th trip there last week to spend a week with long-time friends and a lot of other great folks.
