Most Southerners are good people and I like them a lot. But Free Republic seems to attract a large contingent of them that are self-righteous hypocrits and blame their problems on everyone else and want to somehow claim that a slavery filled pre-1861 South was utopia. I was using the term "Southern Hospitalitist" sarcastically to show their hypocrisy.
What I said about Michigan is true.
My brother-in-law--from Georgia--has been married twice. Both wives were from Michigan. I don't know why.
Wife #1 was from Bloomfield Hills. What a beautiful place. Nice wedding.
The UP won my heart though. My wife and I had a long, leisurely trip there one time. It was so beautiful. The birches. The evergreen trees. The strong wind blowing from the lake.
Be thankful!
