That's for sure. Being a northern born copperhead, two things really made an impression on me when I first moved to SC: (1) race relations were far better than in the north; (2) the roads were in much better condition than up north.
Now, since our 'trusted' Representatives have sold their souls and our liberties to the north, these things have gotten worse.
It's the cost of industrial success. As every area of our country industrialized, the slow life gets replaced by the fast life, and friction becomes more likely. I's easy to get along sitting on a porck drinking beer and making homemade ice cream all the time, not as easy when there are deadlines, hustle and bustle, labor issues, etc. You need to learn to look at these problems intelligently so you can solve them instead of pointing fingers of blame every which way.
I've heard this many times before. Co-worker just moved from N.H. & said b/w relations are worse up there. family lived in PA for a while. klan held meetings at the local school (after-hours of course).
most folks overlook the fact that the largest klan organization is in the NORTH today (PA).
