to BE a DAMNyankee you MUST: 1. BE one of the LOUD-mouthed,10-15% of northerners, who are truly south-HATERS, 2. BELIEVE that southerners & the south are INFERIOR to the north & northerners, 3. BELIEVE southern institutions are NATURALLY inferior to similar things/places "up there", 4.BE an UNthinking, sanctimonious BIGOT & 5. BE unwilling to learn the truth about the south & southerners.
I don't always agree with you, watie, but darned if you didn't hit the nail on the head with this description!
fyi, i don't EXPECT everyone to agree with me, as i'm NOT infallable, as SOME of the DYs on FR claim to be. (N-S for ONE. i once asked him if there was anything that he was NOT an "expert" on. he said that he couldn't think of anything. THAT is called being : "a know all".)
as i frequently say to my beloved, "You have to be patient with me. God isn't though with me yet." my faults are LEGION, but i'm 100% right about DAMNyankee BIGOTS; they are ARROGANT,UNthinking, south-HATERS, who are NO BETTER than racists.
